The Author
A product of Richmond County and lifelong Augustan, Doug Lively appreciates the value of the written word and how it marks thoughts,
ideas, history and opinion for posterity. Words matter. The spoken word can be laced with inflection and expression to nuance meaning but the written word requires work to precisely relay a thought, idea or opinion. It is an art in danger of extinction.
