“A superb anthology” on the theme of sanctuary with original work by Viet Thanh Nguyen, Edwidge Danticat, Aleksandar Hemon and more (Kirkus Reviews).
The third literary anthology in the series that has been called “ambitious” (O Magazine) and “strikingly international” (Boston Globe), Freeman’s: Home, continues to push boundaries in diversity and scope, with stunning new pieces from emerging writers and literary luminaries alike, including in this edition Leila Aboulela, Barry Lopez, Amira Hass, Emily Raboteau, Kjell Askildsen, and many others.
“This edition of Freeman’s manages to do what the world off the page cannot: provide a place where diversity can safely reside. A sanctuary for stories…Home is often the stories of others. Let these poems, shorts and stories guide you to what is your home.”—Literary Hub
