is dedicated to publishing intelligent, zany, well-crafted work. We want literature that attempts real cultural significance. Contemporary authors we admire include Gore Vidal, Fred Chappell, Joan Silber, Andrew Hudgins, Margaret Atwood, Neil Labute, Jim Harrison, Lee K. Abbott, Dave Eggers, Richard Siken, Russell Banks, Denis Johnson, David Slavitt, and E.L. Doctorow. While this may seem like an unlikely list, these authors share a common trait--namely, each attempts to write about something larger than her/his own life while imparting that writing with a personal emotional impact.
