Publisher’s Description: Redivider, a journal of new literature and art, is run by the graduate students of the Writing, Literature, and Publishing Department at Emerson College in Boston. Published in the fall and spring, Redivider features poetry, prose, and art from established and emerging writers, in addition to book reviews and interviews with such authors as Antonya Nelson, Richard Russo, Kelly Link, and Tony D'Souza.
Darkly comic yet cuttingly sad, accessible yet challenging, Redivider, named after the longest single-word palindrome in the English language, aims to be as intriguing, offbeat, and compulsively readable as the personal ads. Intelligent and eclectic, our writers take risks. Unlike some other journals whose pieces seem to blur into a unified monotone, our magazine is polyvocal and compelling, so much so that we bet you’ll read each issue cover to cover!
Work from Redivider has recently been reprinted on Verse Daily and in Best American Fantasy. Recent contributors include George Singleton, Robert Olen Butler, Claudia Emerson, Paul Muldoon, Hannah Tinti, Billy Collins, Kevin Wilson, Paul Yoon, Sherman Alexie, and Bob Hicok.
