In Marjorie's Wake DVD
In Marjorie’s Wake retraces the 1933 journey of
Pulitzer-winning author Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings
on the St. Johns River. The film follows modern day
adventurers Leslie Poole and Jennifer Chase as they
explore the same route Rawlings wrote of in the
“Hyacinth Drift” chapter of her non-fiction novel,
Cross Creek. The film also examines the many ways
in which the river has shaped culture over time.
Be sure to get a copy of the DVD and watch again at your leisure as we explore this beautiful river together. The DVD is available as our gift to you for a suggested donation of $29.95 (including shipping) and your donation can be made using PayPal.
In Marjorie's Wake CD
If the idea of retracing Rawlings on the St. Johns whets your appetite for nature-inspired art, check out the music CD that Jennifer Chase produced for Equinox. Entitled "In Marjorie's Wake", the CD has ten songs written by Chase and performed with guitarist Goliath Flores. They range from the sublime ("Calderon" and "Lemon Bluff") to the hilarious ("Brickyard Slough"), as well as the title song "Welaka" — the name Native Americans first gave to the river itself.

The CD also includes "Kubla Khan" which puts music to the Romantic poet Coleridge's poem by the same name. The CD is available as our gift to you for a suggested donation of $19.95 (including shipping) and your donation can be made using PayPal.
