The spirit of the Dead Mule is reborn. Finally get­ting my lit­er­ary jour­nal pub­lish­ing mojo back. On the front page of the Mule? Our new South­ern Legit­i­macy State­ment. Here’s an excerpt:

Not one race, not one reli­gion, and cer­tainly not just one cause… the South con­tains all sides of all argu­ments. Help the best of “The South” stay as is and do not seek to destroy a unique cul­ture. Remem­ber, please, we are not sim­ply a bunch of back-​ass swamp-​dwelling moonshine-​drinking coon-​hunting mother f’ers. We are — arguably— the last true bas­tion of indi­vid­u­al­ity left in the US.
