Gracious : Poems from the 21st Century South Paperback / softback

Edited by John Poch

Paperback / softback

Description

John Poch's newly curated collection, Gracious: Poems of the 21st Century South, spotlights both emerging and notable voices from this poetry-rich region.

This book promises to be the best and most influential anthology of Southern poetry published in over thirty years.

Gracious steers away from stereotypical mockingbird-and-magnolia verse and instead amplifies a variety of lyric voices covering a wide breadth of Southern experience.

Bryan Giemza's timely introduction situates the anthology among the current discourse in Southern studies.

Gracious features the work of some of our best-known poets alongside those who have just published their first books.

In all, there are eighty-four poets included whose work moves both the heart and the intellect.

Gracious is, in the end, a new poetic geography, a book that strives to define Southern poetry for a generation to come.

It is a book intended not only for the classroom; it aims to capture the imaginations of readers of all ages and backgrounds.
