While it began with a regional commitment, its scope has grown to include readers and writers throughout the U.S. and the world who are brought together through the print journal as well as live programming. Convinced that communities thrive when built on dialogue that honors the difference between any two interlocutors, we publish imaginative work that challenges us to reconsider any line, distinction, or thought in danger of becoming too rigid or neat so that our readers can continue the conversations in their own lives.” Quarterly.
