As the popular Blue Moon Cafi series moves into its third volume, The Alumni Grill showcases award-winning veterans from the first two Blue Moons Cafi collections, handpicked by editors William Gay and Suzanne Kingsbury. In this stunning anthology of Southern prose and poetry, beloved authors such as Tom Franklin, Suzanne Hudson, and Brad Watson take us from the deep South of Alabama, through backcountry Mississippi, to the hills of Appalachia. We feel the aftermath of murder, marvel at motherhood, taste sumptuous Southern cooking, stay out all night fishing, and ache at lost love. For fans of the Blue Moon Cafi series and anyone who loves great writing, The Alumni Grill highlights the endlessly rich and varied voices of the South.
