Elsewhere: A Journal for the Literature of Place

Publisher: ElsewhereJournal.org

In his essay "A Literature of Place," Barry Lopez describes a literature
that embraces a "storied relationship" to place, claiming that "if you're
intimate with a place, a place with whose history you're familiar, and you
establish an ethical conversation with it, the implication that follows is
this: the place knows you're there. It feels you. You will not be forgotten,
cut off, abandoned."

Elsewhere is a journal dedicated to publishing a broad range of poetry,
fiction, and creative nonfiction that expresses just such a "storied
relationship" to place. The name and online format of the journal echoes our
principles. In cyberspace, we're no place but every place. We're here. We're
there.
