Publisher’s Description: A unique literary annual in the tradition of The Sun and Parabola, divide delves into the connection between the creative arts and contemporary social issues. Each issue features a lively combination of personal and critical essays, fiction and poetry, art, and interviews clustered around a theme of current social significance. We believe that literature is not merely an aesthetic experience, but profoundly interconnected with the social fabric from which it arises, and which it can shape.

divide’s inaugural issue, “Death of the New West?” deals with the cultural changes to Western life brought about by alterations in landscape and population; it features such authors as Joanne Greenberg, Ai, Richard Rodriguez, and David Mason, as well as noted Western scholar Patricia Nelson Limerick.

Our second issue, “Pax Americana,” a creative exploration of America’s place in the world, includes work by Rudolfo Anaya, Naomi Shihab Nye, Donald Hall, and Diane Glancy, as well as filmmaker Godfrey Reggio and former U.N. diplomat Giandomenico Picco.

divide is committed to bridging the gap between the aesthetic and the social in a refreshingly readable and visually exciting full-sized format. Available at select bookstores, direct from the publisher, or at Amazon.com.
