The program presents a general overview of the life of 20th century American author Katherine Anne Porter, a complex and deeply psychological writer. It includes interviews with Porter contemporaries Robert Penn Warren and Eudora Welty, as well as with other friends and family members. Interwoven with these interviews are dramatizations of two of Porter's better-known short stories, The Grave and The Circus.
