Understory: An Anthology from the American South (Vol. 2)
by Kristin Entler (Ed.)
Understory: An Anthology from the American South, Volume 2 is the second installment in the press's ongoing Understory anthology series — a gathering of Southern writers, chosen through an open submission period, brought together in one collection. The first volume answered a specific moment: work made in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
This volume widens the call, gathering poetry and prose from writers across the American South, inviting work resilient and surprising enough to make us re-see, in some way, how the American South is perceived.

I love the work this independent press is doing to gather in the souls and voices local to the American South who are living into a vibrant, community and land-oriented culture here. Honored to be a part of this one.
Loved the depth of writing that also has the distinctive flavor of the American South! Wonderful use of visuals that enlivens the format. This anthology is a moving experience.
I am still reading but have truly enjoyed the wide variety of writing styles and stories told by the authors.
A truly stunning collection! A wide choir of voices that create a landscape in a new and exciting way!
Great anthology! The issue includes very interesting prose & poetry, and some unique and thoughtful visual art as well. Kudos to the editors and designers! Thank you for this important work.
Vulnerable and resilient images of brave beauty, An anthology that sings the blues of truth. Read it and dance while you weep.
This anthology is such a necessary work of art and I'm not saying that just because I'm featured in it. Knowing that this anthology came out of post-Hurricane Helene efforts makes it a collection built from resilience, care, and love.
