Publisher's Synopsis
South is the fourth poetry publication by Peter Huggins. A native of New Orleans who resides in Auburn, Alabama, Huggins has earned an intimate knowledge of his subject in this collection of poetry.
"Peter Huggins loves the South, especially New Orleans and Alabama, and his love lights up 'South'. His love is set against his deep knowledge of the region's violent frontier and racial history, but rather than be tainted by the past, his love becomes a part, a fine and lenitive part, of that history. I cannot think of a sweeter and more loving book of poetry published in the last quarter of a century." Andrew Hudgins, author of "Ecstatic in the Poison", and a National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize nominee
