To be an essential destination for creative work that embodies particular times and places, both real and imagined. To mentor and promote the next generation of writers, editors, and publishers.<\/p>\n<p>Finding the extraordinary in the common has long been the mission of literature. Inspired by this mission and the role of the town common, a public gathering place for the display and exchange of ideas,\u00a0The Common\u00a0seeks to recapture an old idea.\u00a0The Common\u00a0publishes pieces of literature that embody particular times and places both real and imagined; from deserts to teeming ports; from Winnipeg to Beijing; from Earth to the Moon: literature and art powerful enough to reach from\u00a0there\u00a0to\u00a0here. In short, we seek a modern sense of place.<\/p>\n<p>In our hectic and sometimes alienating world, themes of place provoke us to reflect on our situations and both comfort and fascinate us. Sense of place is not provincial nor old fashioned. It is a characteristic of great literature from all ages around the world. It is, simply, the feeling of being transported, of \u201cbeing there.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Common\u00a0is an award-winning print and digital literary journal published biannually, in the fall and spring.\u00a0The Common\u00a0includes short stories, essays, poems, and images that embody a strong sense of place.\u00a0The Common\u00a0Online publishes original content four times per week, including book reviews, interviews, personal essays, short dispatches, poetry, contributor podcasts and recordings, and multimedia features.
