From the Editor

Clockhouse is an eclectic conversation about the work-in-progress of life–a soul arousal, a testing ground, a new community, a call for change.

We are interested in diverse voices and nontraditional narratives, and in writing that attempts to understand our place in the world and responsibility to each other.

Past contributors include Charlie Bondhus, Paisley Rekdal, Michael Carroll, Marguerite Duras, T Clutch Fleishmann, Cristina Garcia, David Greenspan, Rinne Groff, Cara Hoffman, Ira Sukrungruang, Amy King, Purvi Shah, and Naomi Shihab Nye, among other exciting new voices. Featured interviews include Cynthia Bond, Dani Shapiro, James Hannaham and M.T. Anderson. Work published in Clockhouse has received Pushcart Prize special mention.

Clockhouse is published by Clockhouse Writers’ Conference in partnership with the MFAW program at Goddard College.
