Publisher’s description: In the inaugural issue of New South, Jake Adam York speaks of the responsibility of being a “Southern” writer, of writing conditioned by place. While we work within the literary traditions of a geographic “Old South,” we are not a “Southern” journal, with its myriad implications. We are Southern by default, not by design. Your work does not have to be set in the South or refer to the South for us to consider it. We are dedicated to finding and publishing the best work from artists around the world.

Inside Volume 1, Number 1: Keith Lee Morris mines his fever dreams, and Jon Sindell chronicles an aging hippie’s struggles with fatherhood. Billy Reynolds’s speaker loves his ducks, and Cody Lumpkin’s catastrophic wing shacks become and hover. Brian Ray discusses the rise of the “9/11 novel,” and Sarah Manguso’s Siste Viator gives reviewer Anis Shivani something to smile about.
