| Title: | Bailey White |
| Description: | Photograph of author and Georgia native Bailey White. She stands on a dirt road. Wearing a white shirt and a skirt, she rests her hands in her pockets. White first achieved popularity reading her local color essays on National Public Radio. Her distinctive, gravelly voice and her gift for portraying eccentric people and unusual situations with a gently self-deprecating wit won her a national following. White has published two essay collections (Mama Makes Up Her Mind and Sleeping at the Starlite Hotel) and one novel (Quite a Year for Plums), and her work has appeared as well in numerous periodicals. Her oral and written stories evoke a vivid picture of life in south Georgia. |
