Created during a time of uncertainty and renewal, this issue unites literature, art, and activism. Featuring powerful voices from the margins to the mainstream, Solstice continues its mission to promote diversity, equity, and creative courage through poetry, nonfiction, fiction, photography, and graphic lit.
Written in the late fall before the election and amid the pandemic’s resurgence, this issue reflects a world in flux—and the power of art to sustain us. Solstice once again turns toward what endures: literature, visual art, and activism that confronts oppression while celebrating resilience.
For over a decade, Solstice has merged literary excellence with cultural relevance, elevating underrepresented voices across race, religion, class, gender, sexuality, nationality, and age. The Winter 2020 Print Issue continues that legacy with fiction, essays, poetry, and photography from emerging and established artists who expand our understanding of identity and justice.
With gratitude to our devoted editorial team—Richard Hoffman (Nonfiction), Iain Haley Pollock, Artress Bethany White, and Robbie Gamble (Poetry), Barbara Siegel Carlson and Ewa Chrusciel (Poetry in Translation), and Andrai Whitted (Graphic Lit)—this issue also marks the arrival of Brenda Sparks Prescott as Co-Editor-in-Chief, bringing new creative and organizational energy to our work for social justice.
The cover features Lou Jones’s “Mike Portrait” from his pandemicboston series, reminding us of the humanity and hope found in art. Order your copy and experience how Solstice renews its purpose—during the darkest days, and at the turning of the Solstice itself.
