Winter Solstice Issue 2017

Welcome to our new website with a more interactive design—frequently updated blog posts, lit events, announcements, and much more! Deep thanks to our Web Developer, Andrai Whitted!

Also, our Tenth Anniversary will kick off with our Spring 2018 Issue, online and in print, including new guest editors, such as Stephen Dunn, Pulitzer Prize winner in poetry. And a tribute to Dzvinia Orlowsky for poetry in translation.

Vitally, Solstice is taking an urgent stand for diversity in lit, with a new call for pieces promoting social justice.  See Blog Editor’s note for details!

Now to our fabulous new Fall/Winter 2017 Issue.  Check individual editors’ notes for the scoop on terrific established and emerging authors of various nationalities, races, classes, religions, ethnicities, and genders! And view the art of acclaimed photographer Christopher James!

Because of our commitment, please make an end of year donation to diversity in lit!  Our nonprofit survives on your generosity.  Please donate and keep us live! 

Onwards,
Lee Hope, Editor-in-chief.
