This special double issue of the Oxford American explores Home: a place and an idea that’s deeply personal, always political, and as gloriously complicated as the South itself.

Saeed Jones writes from a rideshare in New Orleans; Diane Roberts celebrates and laments her family home in Florida. T. Geronimo Johnson shares an excerpt from his upcoming novel, The Occidental Book of the Dead. You’ll find a photo essay by Bill McCullough and new poetry by Katie Condon, Camonghne Felix, and others. 

Pre-orders will ship in late July and the magazine will be available on newsstands August 11th.
