Sidebrow 01

Poetry. Fiction. Cross-Genre. Edited by Jason Snyder, John Cleary, and Kristine Leja. SIDEBROW 01 brings together the work of 65 writers of innovative poetry and prose into a multi-threaded, collaborative narrative that marks a new direction in publishing. Launched on the Web in 2005 to explore resonances among disparate modes of literary expression, Sidebrow has used the Internet to open up its publishing process, introducing thematic projects and facilitating creative response to pieces curated on its Web site. This inaugural anthology--which includes work by Brian Evenson, Cole Swensen, Chris Tysh, Elizabeth Robinson, Sandy Florian, Joshua Marie Wilkinson, and Noah Eli Gordon, among others--serves as a first step toward that effort, offering both a snapshot of an collaborative experiment and an invitation to participate in its evolution.
