With \u003ci\u003eVinegar and Char \u003c\/i\u003ethe Southern Foodways Alliance celebrates twenty years of symposia by offering a collection of poems that are by turns as sophisticated and complex, as vivid and funny, and as buoyant and poignant as any SFA gathering. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe roster of contributors includes Natasha Trethewey, Robert Morgan, Atsuro Riley, Adrienne Su, Richard Blanco, Ed Madden, Nikky Finney, Frank X Walker, Sheryl St. Germain, Molly McCully Brown, and forty-five more. These poets represent past, current, and future conversations about what it means to be southern. Throughout the anthology, region is layered with race, class, sexuality, and other shaping identities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith an introduction by Sandra Beasley, a thought-provoking foreword by W. Ralph Eubanks, and luminous original artwork by Julie Sola, this collection is an ideal gift. Meant to be savored slowly or devoured at once, these pages are a perfect way to spend the hour before supper, with a glass of iced tea--or the hour after, with a pour of bourbon--and a fitting celebration of the SFA's focus and community.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSANDRA BEASLEY\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of \u003ci\u003eCount the Waves \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eTheories of Falling\u003c\/i\u003e.
