Mid/South Sonnets

Mid/South Sonnets brings together sixty-six poets with ties throughout the American South. From Oklahoma to Florida with larger clusters of work from the more centrally located Mid-Southern states, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee the states represented through these writers offer a wide range of landscapes and perspectives that speak to the region's eclectic nature. While this anthology includes many conventional and experimental approaches to the sonnet form, each poem ultimately enacts an attempt to struggle through the anxieties of home in the hope of finding a place to love and belong.
