Editors' Note The original impulse behind tripwire came out of a perceived lack of, and genuine interest in, venues for emergent and established writers and artists to articulate their poetics. We hope to provide an open forum for such discussions, to promote critical thought and community, dialogue and debate, reflection and provocation. Each issue focuses on themes that seem to represent pervasive and shared concerns among those attending these conversations.

Submission Information:

Tripwire invites submissions of essays, translations, interviews, art & book reviews, bulletins, letters responding to previous issues, & visual art. Visual art submissions should be reproducible in black and white; visual artists are encouraged to include a statement about their work. At this time, we are not accepting unsolicited poetry for publication. All submissions should include a hard copy and SASE for response.
