Our award winning Nonfiction (A Best of the Net Award and Notable Essays cited in The Best American Essays 2015 & 2016) focuses on immigration and shifting identities. Our Poetry ranges from Fred Marchant’s “The Migrants” to Meena Alexander’s “Little Burnt Holes” to Martha Collins’ “Exit/Exeunt.” We also offer poems in translation from Vietnamese, Romanian, and other languages. Our Fiction features eclectic styles: Laurie Foos’ magical realism, Valerie Miner’s suspenseful storytelling, and a historical novel excerpt by Kim McLarin.

SOLSTICE SELECTS: FIVE YEARS OF DIVERSE VOICES
Our inaugural print anthology brings readers some of the top writing published in Solstice: A Magazine of Diverse Voices during its first five years online. Lovers of short stories will find a wide range of styles to admire—from Helen Elaine Lee’s lyrical depiction of love in prison, to Jose Skinner’s magical realism, to David Huddle’s realism, and three stylistically inventive short shorts. Poetry includes Stephen Dunn’s doubletake in “The Undercover Man,” along with the lyricism of Major Jackson’s take on African Americans, and Diane Glancy’s lyrical take on Native Americans—plus important work by seventeen other American poets. And, as nonfiction editor Richard Hoffman writes, the “true” pieces in this anthology by authors Michael Steinberg, Jabari Asim, Michelle Cacho-Negrete, Sven Birkerts, Millicent Monks, and Mary Collins reflect “the struggle to come to terms with life in order to better connect to the experience of others.”
