Jackson, Mississippi.

5 pieces

Jackson is a southern capital of a white domed statehouse, brick streets and heavy oak shade. The Pearl river runs past, magnolia and crepe myrtle flower through the warm months, and the summer humidity is a fact of life rather than a complaint. The colour is white stone, brick and deep green. Blues came up the road from the delta and never entirely left. Writers from here have shaped southern literature out of all proportion to the size of the place. Catfish and hot tamales are both local and both taken seriously. The pieces here come as prints, ornaments and more.
