about.
The New South Poetry Conference aims to provide space for collegiate southern poets to redefine southern identity by emphasizing the value of community events over slam.
“New South is
come in,
take a load off,
sit at my table,
bring your uglyness too,
there is food enough for the lot of you, there is love enough for the lot of you,
make home here for a while
& when you go and you will
May you go whole, full & loved”
- Acacia Salisbury Co-founder
