Series

Named for intersections, and for the heart of the matter, Crux publishes literary nonfiction by diverse writers working in a variety of modes, including personal and lyric essay, memoir, cultural meditation, and literary journalism. Both intelligent and accessible, its books are intended for general readers, including writers, teachers of writing, and students. The series particularly values engagement with the world, dedication to craft, precision, and playfulness with form and language.
