Why a new “Southern” Journal?
For the cultivation and nurture of regional consciousness in the American South.
In appreciation of a distinctive people within a distinctive place.
To know and love our history, warts and all.
To recover the Southern wisdom tradition embedded in its regional practices, worn customs, rugged conventions, honored institutions, and stories.
In celebration of the Southern contribution to the arts and literature.
To honor those who came before us, those who gave us a heritage worth preserving.
To view life from the vantage of front porches and back yards.
