The Story!

At once it struck me what quality went to form a Man of Achievement, especially in Literature, and which Shakespeare possessed so enormously - I mean Negative Capability, that is, when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason.  – John Keats

Literary Mobile: 10th Anniversary Edition

Negative Capability Press is excited to announce the highly anticipated publication of Literary Mobile: Tenth Anniversary Edition. This anthology of poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction centers around what it means to be a Mobilian, what it means to experience our city on the bay. The original publication of "Literary Mobile" was featured as part of the Mobile Tricentennial, sold out before it could hit bookshelves, and is now considered a collector’s item. Included in the list of about ninety contributors are Jack Kerouac, Eugene Walter, Hank Aaron, Carolyn Haines, Sue B. Walker, Winston Groom, E.B. Sledge, and E.O. Wilson. Truman Capote, Edgar Allan Poe, and Frye Gaillard join many others as new additions to the upcoming revised version. "Literary Mobile: Tenth Anniversary Edition" is set to be a part of the 2013 Southern Literary Trail.
