That’s not a statement about the current weather, because it’s gray where we are. It’s about a weekend of love (and, naturally, football).

We discover our family is connected to this other one, and that friend to another one, until we all learn how we are woven into the great sweep of Southern history.

This weekend’s reading plumbs the depths of Southern hearts through fiction and poetry.

We start the year with some new reasons to get excited about Southern rock and roll. One more time.

As we greet 2024, look fondly (but briefly) backward. Then seek your sources of hope, because hope has no end.

Salvation South wishes you peace and a merry whatever you celebrate.

It’s time you wrote your own. Join Chuck Reece and Meredith McCarroll for Salvation South’s first virtual writing workshop

There isn’t one South. There are 10,000. Join us on our journey to tell the stories of them all.

Fiction from Mississippi’s Michael Farris Smith, verses from Ohio’s poet laureate, and a Christmas memory from Deb Bowen prove why we need your support in this membership drive.
