Hunting & Home in the Southern Heartland

Archibald Rutledge is the real thing — a Poet Laureate and master essayist who writes about hunting and the Southern natural world with genuine grace and moral seriousness. Jim Casada's careful editorial work makes this the best entry point into Rutledge's writing, and the university press imprimatur signals scholarly confidence in the selection. If you love outdoor writing and literary Southern prose, this anthology will feel like discovering a friend you should have met decades ago.
