Boor Soirée: A Digital Center
for Rural Poetics

Stepping out from behind the shadow cast by literary hubs and their creative tastes, Boor Soirée serves as a cultural ethnography of the often-neglected voices working in rural spaces. The digital project is an archive, community, and shape for the future of craft in rural literatures, shining light on the inventions and interventions that project a cultural response to the social, political, and economic realities of the landscapes writers of rural America create within and from.
