Andrew Mack Trilogy
Andrew Mack's three titles with Loblolly Press in one bundle — What the River Was, Weekend Revival, and Beasts of Chase. Rivers and watersheds, small-town voices and Appalachian folklore, and the long history of bear hunting in the Southern mountains — the full arc of his work so far. Includes one paperback copy of each.
Inside the Full Catalog
What the River Was$16.00
What the River Was moves in three currents — South Carolina creeks and watershed margins, found poems drawn from National Geographic that tell the story of a planet being stripped, and a return to the river as family history and grief. Muskrats and herons, a father met on the shoulder of Highway 6, ancestors who walked south from Virginia after the Civil War — the poems ask what we owe the land and each other, and find the answer is the same thing. Andrew Mack's second collection.
Weekend Revival$14.00
Weekend Revival gathers the voices of a small Southern town — the postmistress, the reverend, the gravekeeper, the dead — in poems that move between sermon and folk ballad, elegy and field report. Rooted in Appalachian folklore and small-town ritual, it holds genuine faith and genuine menace, often indistinguishable, with water running through all of it. Andrew Mack's chapbook, revised and back in print.
Beasts of Chase$14.00
Rooted in the history of bear hunting in Appalachia since colonization, Beasts of Chase interrogates the relationship between black bears and the people who hunt them — sharply researched, deeply specific to the region, and alive to what displacement costs both the natural world and the human one. Andrew Mack's second chapbook.
