A book by Georgia's Poet Laureate, David Bottoms. This is the dude who brought us the great poems, In a U-Haul North of Damascus, Shooting Rats at the Bibb County Dump, and (my favorite) Under the Vulture-Tree.
This is what poetry should be; accessible, relevant, and set in the South.
Rockin'.

Well, I must say I've never read his poetry, but now you've got me intrigued! I hope my library has a copy too!!
I actually enjoyed reading that poem...does that count as culture?
Madison, good luck. "Armored Hearts" is a good intro to his work. Kind of a 'best of' collection.
Mike, I now dub thee cultured!
