Announcing Omnidawn’s new annual anthology, Best American Experimental Writing

Omnidawn is delighted to announce that we will be publishing a new annual anthology, the BEST AMERICAN EXPERIMENTAL WRITING (BAX), which will make its debut in spring of 2014.

The series editors, who developed the concept,
are Seth Abramson and Jesse Damiani.

The first Guest Editor will be Cole Swensen.



We are grateful to Seth for announcing this news on his Facebook, and share his confidence that “an annual anthology of innovative verse can make an important contribution to our national conversation about what constitutes excellence in the literary arts.”

Omnidawn is thrilled to be embarking upon this project with Seth and Jesse. And, we are honored that Cole Swensen will edit the first anthology.

We will share more news about BAX in the coming weeks and months. Very soon, you will be able to follow Omnidawn on Twitter and Tumblr, and along with greater activity from our Facebook page, we will be able to provide you with further updates about BAX and other exciting Omnidawn news.
