CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: “On Writing in a Dark Time”
Are these dark times? Are our politics and culture in some way uniquely or especially perverse, dangerous, anti-democratic? Or is this just the usual rub and hubbub of history?
How should we -- as citizens, as humans, as writers – respond to such times? What language, what beauty, what rage can help? What is the quality of light?
