Often referred to as “the most Southern place on earth” and “the South’s South,” the Mississippi Delta is a unique region of the American South—the Deep South. As a mecca of Southern culture and history, “the Delta,” as it is both geographically and affectionately known, is the land of cotton and the home of the blues—a mystique place that inspired the likes of Tennessee Williams, B. B. King, William Faulkner, and countless other writers and artists still today. With a fresh and cutting-edge approach, Delta Magazine, based in the region, captures the essence of the alluvial landscape and the modern Delta-Southern lifestyle in full color. But no matter where you live or where you’re from, Delta Magazine is a must-read for the Deep Southerner at heart. |
