A Deeper South

Brought to you by writer and photographer Pete Candler, A Deeper South is an ongoing storytelling project in word and image on the beauty, mystery, and sorrow of the Southern road.

The vision of A Deeper South is rooted in the idea that the spiritual, political, and cultural health of a nation, region, city, town, or person depends upon an honest and unflinching memory; that the gravest danger to our city and ourselves is a willful amnesia; that hope is to be found through the work of active remembrance, putting back together the fragments of personhood scattered by a culture of selective memory.
