JUKE
JOINT
DIG AND BE DUG
IN RETURN
Juke Joint is published four times a year: February, May, August, & November.
The juke joint has always been a place beyond the margin, somewhere along the line. Barrelhouses of the South, juke joints served as a place for slaves & sharecroppers to socialize & celebrate counterculture in a society marred by Jim Crow & institutionalized hate. Today, there is hardly a handful left, most of them in the Mississippi Delta.
We uphold this spirit of defiance, searching for unconventional Southern (& non-Southern) voices in poetry & art. Send us your lyrical, your narrative, your found, your erased, your not-quite-sure-what-it-is.
Submissions & other correspondence should be sent to: jukejointmag@gmail.com
