NEW MERCH,
SERVED FRESH
In celebration of the bright and beautiful cover of our Spring Food Issue, our persimmon ‘Not A Tomato’ cap and green bean mug pair perfectly with an issue that explores what may look—and taste—simple but never is.
Since 1992, the Oxford American has chronicled the intellectual and creative life of the South through exceptional writing, music, and visual art—guided by the belief that our thoughts and dreams are born of our places.
As a nonprofit organization, we rely on the generous support of readers like you to maintain our high standards of publishing excellence as we navigate rising production costs and an increasingly challenging media landscape.
Keeping this vital space for Southern storytelling alive has never been more important.
“Our most adventurous and authoritative window on the South.”
— Judge’s Citation, Whiting Literary Magazine Prize 2023
The Whiting Foundation recognizes the Oxford American as a vital force in American letters, praising our commitment to “pushing beyond headlines to deliver a textured, ever-evolving portrait” of the South that illuminates the intricacies of art, music, and human experience.
