Bridge began in the early-aughts and published roughly 15 editions, with fiction, poetry, essays and more. Now, with a small, committed core group, Bridge has relaunched. The goal is to publish a hardcover journal in the tradition of the vanguard pamphlets of previous eras–from Tristan Tzara’s Litterature magazine to Wyndham Lewis’ Blast. Bridge will be a “periodical,” coming out when there’s sufficiently quality material to merit publication.
MISSION STATEMENT: “The original goals of Bridge in the late 1990s emerged from the bedrock notion of interdisciplinarity, of a need to recognize interdependence of art across the disciplines, and to think and combine them where appropriate; we feel this concept has further evolved over the decades. The simple belief behind Bridge is that separate fields of inquiry can and should be thought of as having shared, intersectional horizons. Today, every existing worldview, whether scientific, philosophic, aesthetic, political, or literary must acknowledge its limits or risk being defined as obsolete, unachievable, and incoherent.”
