Abstract: This thesis is a poetic examination of Southern history and culture through explorations of the founding myths of the region. These myths include the family, Christianity and the Bible, Southern language and accent, music, the natural landscape, etc. Particularly, this thesis will try to poetically identify and undermine a destructive local brand of Whiteness in an every day, lived-in way. Finally, the thesis will try to raise up the bits of nuance here or there that I know from my own experiences to perhaps oer Southerners some new perspectives on the truths we take for granted.
