Mark Winegardner has edited several anthologies over his career. Mondo Elvis, part of his Mondo pop-culture series, appears here alongside Good Roots: Writers Reflect on Growing Up in Ohio, a 2006 collection that gathers personal essays from writers who grew up in the state.
Good Roots draws on Winegardner’s own Ohio background and his years teaching at Florida State University, where he directed the creative writing program. The anthology features contributions from a range of Ohio writers reflecting on how the state’s landscapes, cities, and culture shaped their identities and their art.
