Contraposition : Volume 2

This issue of Contraposition calls our notion of authorship into question. When an idea comes into the world, when we find something beautiful for the first time, we often ask: where is this from? Where can I find more? But this impulse can leave us with a sense of being robbed – when the answer is not quite what we’d hoped – or keep us from searching beyond a source that has pleased us. We’d like to suggest that the relative anonymity of most of this issue’s contributors doesn't diminish the value of their work; it gives them a special kind of authority—the kind we give to a child's first words, an openness to a new surprising, beautiful, or humorous connection. Contraposition is concerned with finding beauty and importance wherever it appears, no matter who it is that may have created it. Poetry and Fiction by various authors.
