Yes, there is barbecue, but that's just one course of the meal.
With Vinegar and Char the Southern Foodways Alliance celebrates
twenty years of symposia by offering a collection of poems that are
by turns as sophisticated and complex, as vivid and funny, and as
buoyant and poignant as any SFA gathering. The roster of
contributors includes Natasha Trethewey, Robert Morgan, Atsuro
Riley, Adrienne Su, Richard Blanco, Ed Madden, Nikky Finney, Frank
X Walker, Sheryl St. Germain, Molly McCully Brown, and forty-five
more. These poets represent past, current, and future conversations
about what it means to be southern. Throughout the anthology,
region is layered with race, class, sexuality, and other shaping
identities. With an introduction by Sandra Beasley, a
thought-provoking foreword by W. Ralph Eubanks, and luminous
original artwork by Julie Sola, this collection is an ideal gift.
Meant to be savored slowly or devoured at once, these pages are a
perfect way to spend the hour before supper, with a glass of iced
tea?or the hour after, with a pour of bourbon?and a fitting
celebration of the SFA's focus and community.
