The note that ran with the work
Printed with The Devil Made Three
Canton Mackan writes from the Gulf Coast plains in a style he calls meta-Southern: part folklore, part confession, part post-modern dissection of the South’s mythmaking. His poems navigate faith, violence, inheritance, and identity with a voice that is raw, self-aware, and steeped in the landscape that shaped it. Mackan’s work examines the region’s contradictions while honoring the emotional truths that endure within them.
