A nominee
Evie Shockley, nominated by the Dead Mule School of Southern Literature for inclusion in Sundress’s 2008 Best of the Net anthology, has two poems in the online Mule, “the most surprising thing about your living room” and the nominated poem “riven.”
Here is her Southern Legitimacy Statement:
In one sense, my response to the idea that “southern legitimacy” is something I need to demonstrate exists in the form of a poem: “cause i’m from dixie too.” (It appears in my book a half-red sea.) On the other hand, since this a requirement for all contributors to The Dead Mule, my poem is not exactly apropos! So I will simply say that I was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee.
There is also an interview with Evie on the Mule, at this link.
