In this fourth edition of Burnaway’s print publication titled Where I’m Calling From–from the Raymond Carver story of the same name–we take stock of the South’s contemporary art and culture.
Included in this volume are stories on sonic traditions in Jamaica, reflections on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Pride of Portsmouth, Virginia’s — Missy Elliot — debut album Supa Dupa Fly, parrot tourist traps in Florida, The City Behind the Fence in Tennessee, fairies in the Ozark Mountains, the last dogtrot houses in North Carolina, the Hot Boyz of New Orleans, and the destructive strip-mining of Twilight III in West Virginia.
Existing between the space occupied by periodicals, academic journals, and art objects, Where I’m Calling From covers thirteen states plus the Caribbean. -Publisher
