Now more than sixty of those pieces have been brought together in this sparkling new collection.\u003c\/b\u003e\"People have often asked me how it feels to be the 'voice of the South, '\" writes Renkl in her introduction. \"But I'm not the voice of the South, and no one else is, either.\" There are many Souths--red and blue, rural and urban, mountain and coast, Black and white and brown--and no one writer could possibly represent all of them. In \u003ci\u003eGraceland, At Last\u003c\/i\u003e, Renkl writes instead from her own experience about the complexities of her homeland, demonstrating along the way how much more there is to this tangled region than many people understand.In a patchwork quilt of personal and reported essays, Renkl also highlights some other voices of the South, people who are fighting for a better future for the region. A group of teenagers who organized a youth march for Black Lives Matter. An urban shepherd whose sheep remove invasive vegetation. Church parishioners sheltering the homeless. Throughout, readers will find the generosity of spirit and deep attention to the world, human and nonhuman, that keep readers returning to her columns each Monday morning.From a writer who \"makes one of all the world's beings\" (NPR), \u003ci\u003eGraceland, At Last\u003c\/i\u003e is a book full of gifts for Southerners and non-Southerners alike.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 8.4 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 26, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51984028598573,"sku":"9781571311856","price":19.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/imop-8TWno9781571311856.webp?v=1776081482","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/graceland-at-last-notes-on-hope-and-heartache-from-the-american-south-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
