Details The Bitter Southerner was founded in 2013 as a digital magazine to "uncover the American South in all its truth and complexity — and in the process to break stereotypes about the region and its people by pushing out important, difficult, uncomfortable, irreverent, witty, addictive, and always enjoyable stories that turn myths about the South inside out." What started out as a response to the South being excluded from a list of "Top 50 Bars in the World" has grown into an award-winning publication that covers all angles of Southern life. Issue No. 1 is The Bitter Southerner's first print magazine, published in March of 2021 and printed in the South. It includes an insightful interview with Permission to Wander collaborator and photographer Rinne Allen and features photos from her travels in West Texas. Read stories, find recipes, and discover art throughout this captivating volume. Composition + Care • 151 pages• Measures 11 x 13.5 x .375"• Full color, matte finish pages• In-stock; ships within 1 - 3 business days• Excluded from all sales and promotions
