Sometimes, Salvation South has no choice but to follow the news cycle. This was one of those weeks. Read about our dispatch from the flooded banks of the French Broad River and our pairing of poems that answer the Apalachee High School shootings with words of healing and challenge.

Salvation South is super grateful we can attract new work from the greatest writers in the South. Like Ron Rash! Here’s Ron’s latest short fiction, which he told us, is “not my usual story.” www.salvationsouth.com/a-single-gre...
A Single Green Feather – Salvation South
Ron Rash weaves a haunting tale of obsession, preservation, and the dark lengths some will go to possess beauty.

It’s not everyday that your cardiologist writes a book. Fascinated by his focus on managing stress, cultivating joy, and connecting with what matters. Timely. Thanks, @happyheartmd #justoneheart
