Whether it’s through great writing, great music, or great art, the Oxford American has a long history of telling powerful stories of and about the American South. In addition to providing a place to purchase past and present issues of the Oxford American magazine, this store also features a few of our favorite books, albums, and crafts of the region. All of the items are hand-selected by Oxford American editors and staff.

Oxford American Goods is divided into three categories:

GOOD READING:

The Oxford American was founded in 1992 with a vision that still guides us today: the South—a region so productive of great literature—deserves a great literary magazine. In our Good Reading collection, you will find current and classic issues of the Oxford American magazine, and a few of our favorite books by OA contributors and friends.

GOOD LISTENING:

The Oxford American is best known for its annual music issue, which includes a gorgeously produced CD of songs selected by our editors. As critic Dwight Garner wrote in the New York Times, “These CDs practically belong in the Smithsonian.” In our Good Listening collection, browse OA music issues, past and present, alongside a selection of albums we think you'll enjoy.

GOOD LIVING:

Stunning artwork and design have always been integral to the Oxford American. Every time you read an issue of the magazine, we want you to feel like you're holding an object of beauty. All purchases support the Oxford American's ongoing mission to explore the complexity and vitality of the South through excellent writing, visual art, and events programming.

As a non-profit organization, we rely on our supporters to help us do what we do. By purchasing items from this curated collection, you’ll be contributing to the writers, musicians, and artists who comprise the heart of the Oxford American.
