Stoneboat 7.2

The 2016 presidential election revealed a deep divide in the American political and cultural landscapes. The election also revealed a clear need for conversation among Americans on all sides of this divide. Stoneboat facilitated this discourse in its "Beyond Red & Blue: Voices for America" issue by providing a space for all people to express their views, not only about the election outcome but also about what it means to be an American in 2017 and what it means to make America great again. (Or, what already makes America great.) Stoneboat is an independent biannual journal of literature and arts that is dedicated to publishing quality fiction, nonfiction, memoir, poetry, artwork, and graphic literature. We strive to showcase outstanding and diverse work from both emerging and established artists. Ours is a larger format publication compared to traditional journals since we believe in giving contributors' work room to breathe.
