Visual Journalist, Clarion Ledger Are you passionate about culture? Mississippi is not only the home of the blues, but it also has one of the most enticing food scenes in the nation .It's a state with a rich history of producing some of the most creative Americans, from world-class writers, including William Faulkner, Eudora Welty and Tennessee Williams, to entertainers Oprah Winfrey, James Earl Jones and of course, Elvis Presley. Mississippi has been home to many great artists, as well, including "The Mad Potter" George Ohr and famed painter Walter Anderson and museums bearing their names and works are popular draws to the state. And it's not just the past. Today, many of the nation's great writers hail from Mississippi, including recent National Book Award Winner Jesmyn Ward, Pulitzer-Prize-winning poet and former U.S. Poet Laurette Natasha Trethewey and bourgeoning novelist Michael Farris Smith.
