Green Altar Books

Southern literature is the glory of American culture. Faulkner, O’Connor, Warren, Lytle, Davidson, Gordon, Percy, Chappell, Berry will be known as long as Western civilization survives and long after today’s politicians, “experts,” and celebrity writers are forgotten. Another of the greats, George Garrett, wrote that “all signs indicate that Southern literature, far from being on its last legs and far from representing a falling off from earlier and better days, seems very much alive.” We support Garrett’s witness by establishing Green Altar Books—a collection of Southern fiction and poetry.
