We believe good essays center the margin or marginalize the center, or even better, blow up the center-margin borders. We want essays that make the common uncommon\u2014that are not about the things they pretend to be about. You know, the essay about your shoelace that\u2019s not really about your shoelace. We want to read more essays that reflect the intersections of race, ethnicity, culture, class, identity, gender, sexuality, diasporas, borderlands; and more essays that are cultural, lyrical, experimental, personal, environmental, self-interrogative, meditative, and reflective, as well as expository, analytical, exploratory, or whimsical. We want to publish the best creative nonfiction essays, understanding that notions of \u201cbest,\u201d of taste and genre, are political and cultural.<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Submission Guidelines<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>General Submissions: Accepted September 1 &#8211; November 30 only.
