Solstice Selects I marks the first print anthology from Solstice: A Magazine of Diverse Voices, bringing together exceptional writing published during the magazine’s first five years online. This collection captures Solstice’s founding mission—to merge literary excellence with social relevance and highlight diverse perspectives across race, class, gender, religion, and nationality.
Readers will find a rich variety of literary forms and voices:
Fiction ranging from Helen Elaine Lee’s lyrical exploration of love and confinement to Jose Skinner’s magical realism, David Huddle’s realism, and three inventive short-shorts.
Poetry including Stephen Dunn’s “The Undercover Man,” Major Jackson’s resonant reflection on African American identity, Diane Glancy’s lyrical rendering of Native experience, and work by seventeen other distinguished poets.
Nonfiction, curated by Richard Hoffman, with “true” narratives by Michael Steinberg, Jabari Asim, Michelle Cacho-Negrete, Sven Birkerts, Millicent Monks, and Mary Collins—each grappling with life’s complexities to illuminate our shared humanity.
Edited by Lee Hope, with editorial leadership from Richard Hoffman and Solstice’s dedicated team, this first anthology stands as both a literary milestone and a testament to the power of authentic voices.
