Solomon and George Publishers are seeking submissions for an anthology of works by writers in the Auburn/Opelika area to be published in a collection titled “Chinaberries and Crows.” Bert Hitchcock, Auburn University professor emeritus of English, will serve as editor of the new volume of creative work.
Hitchcock suggests that chinaberries and crows, along with the “blinding, blistering summer sun,” are more emblematic of the American South and Alabama than the stereotypical, romanticized magnolias, mockingbirds and moonlight.
