THIS PROJECT IS SUPPORTED, IN PART, BY
The North American Review AND The Georgia Review

AMERICAN LITERATURE owes a debt of gratitude to the rich cultural traditions of the Gulf Coast. The literary dynamism of the region truly captures a jambalaya of cultures, voices and ideas. Sadly, the 2005 hurricane season has destroyed or severely impaired the libraries, literacy programs, and lives of writers and publishers in the region.

We at Periphery wish to aid in the restoration of this treasured cultural region by devoting our 2006 edition of Periphery, entitled Southern Revival: Deep magic for hurricane relief, to library recovery efforts.

The editor pledges to absorb all production costs and to forward all individual donations and sales of Southern Revival to Book Relief, First Book's comprehensive effort to provide millions of new books to the victims of hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma. Please click on the links above to learn more about the award-winning nonprofit organization and its national campaign.

Southern Revival is now available! Thanks to writers, readers and supporters, we've already collected $1600 to donate to library restoration. We're not finished, however. Our goal is to collect $2,500. This amount will enable First Book to distribute 5,000 books to those greatest in need. That's almost an entire library! Your purchase of Southern Revival, or a simple donation of $10 or more, is all it takes to make this happen.
