COVER STORY
Knoxville Bound
Many a writer has gotten this place under his skin and found it necessary to express those memories through stories, poems, essays and memoirs. Knoxville Bound is a new anthology of such writings about or inspired by Knoxville, edited by Judy Loest and Jack Rentfro. Here, we are proud to present a sample of the collection’s lyrical observations about our city.

Plus: Seven Days, Meet your City, and Street Talk.
