fOURTH GENRe
Spring 2012
Fourth Genre is a literary journal devoted to publishing notable, innovative work in nonfiction. Given the genre's flexibility and expansiveness, it welcomes a variety of works ranging from personal essays and memoirs to literary journalism. The editors invite works that are lyrical, self-interrogative, meditative, and reflective, as well as expository, analytical, exploratory, or whimsical.
The journal encourages submissions across the full spectrum of the genre and encourages a writer-to-reader conversation, one that explores the markers and boundaries of literary/creative nonfiction.
Published twice annually by the Michigan State University Press.
Work made from two 2009 editions of The Los Angeles Times are included in this publication.
