After reading Roxane Gay's blog and ordering two books from her Tiny Hardcore Press, I ventured to the blog of Bian Oliu. Oliu is a creative writer who currently lives in T-Town, and his book, So You Know It's Me, is forthcoming this June.
After reading a few of his blog posts, I then ventured to the auspices of The Offending Adam, another website I was not aware of.
At Offending Adam this week, they're having a Tuscaloosa issue.
As Nik De Dominic, the editor The Offending Adam, relates, "You will see from this collection of writing from people connected to Tuscaloosa that Tuscaloosa is boozy, ghostly, quiet, funny, sad; it is the seasons, a mythic place, the trunk of a car, red clay, a hammer, a bird, bratty sometimes, a train spike, a blurry view, bridges, an escape, a purgatory; that is it graceful, and it is lordly. That it is not gone. I know that Tuscaloosa may be broken and that Tuscaloosa may be bruised but that Tuscaloosa will recover."
Roll Tide to that.
And check out the writing, folks.
