Alabama has a storied history: Fewer than ten generations ago,
Alabama was owned by the Spanish (who claimed Mobile until 1813),
then the British, and then the United States, after failing to
secede into a Confederacy. Following the Civil War, Alabama
suffered economic collapse and depended on the few crops it could
sell or export to exist as a unified state. Today, the state
thrives, but its troubled history has left a mark that, with hope,
fades with time, compassion, and understanding. Alabama is among
the most naturally dynamic states in the nation, its ecosystems
ranging from Appalachian mountains, through rolling Piedmont, to
the vast Gulf Shore. In this tenth volume of The Southern Poetry
Anthology, the editors have achieved a remarkable task; they have
revealed another wide variegation that makes Alabama so dynamic:
poets in the Yellowhammer State with both established and new
voices. They have elucidated the impressive and exciting diversity
of poets who consider or have considered Alabama home.
