The Alumni Grill

by William Gay, William Gay (Editor), Suzanne Kingsbury (Editor)

As the popular Blue Moon Café series moves into its third volume, The Alumni Grill showcases award-winning veterans from the first two Blue Moon Café 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 from lost love. For fans of the Blue Moon Café series and anyone who loves short fiction, The Alumni Grill highlights the endlessly rich and varied voices of the South.
