Conclave (Spring 2016): Writing for Change - Lara Bernhardt - Bog

After a brief hiatus, the literary journal Conclave returns under new editorial management. Conclave celebrates the power of literature. Each issue features exceptional fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and photography. The focus for this issue is "Writing for Change," reminding us that literature matters and words can change the world for the better. "Literature and writers have always been at the forefront of positive change," says Editor-in-Chief Lara Bernhardt. "Conclave wants to create a meeting place where writers and words can, to quote Joseph Conrad, 'teach us how to see.'" Change is an inevitable force in people's lives, ideally though not certainly a force for progress and growth. This issue celebrates a positive view of the future and, as always, shows writers leading the way.
