It had such promise - a Southern regional publication more interested in quality than commercial success, with the hope that the former would lead to the latter. Original fiction by leading and up and coming writers; coverage of music grown on the land; articles on regional matters; even first publication of newly discovered Faulkner material. Lead those horses to water and they might drink. Not enough did, even with John Grisham as managing editor. The magazine folded in 2002; relocated to Arkansas where it published a couple of issues before folding again; and according to rumor it is going to try once more somewhere else. You could spend your money a lot more foolishly than acquiring back issues. Some issues have numbers, some have dates. | ||||
