<p>We invite you to experience <em><strong>Fourth Genre: Explorations in Nonfiction</strong></em>, a journal devoted to publishing notable, innovative work in nonfiction. Given the genre’s flexibility and expansiveness, we welcome a variety of works ranging from personal essays and memoirs to literary journalism and personal criticism. The editors invite works that are lyrical, self-interrogative, meditative, and reflective, as well as expository, analytical, exploratory, or whimsical. In short, we encourage submissions across the full spectrum of the genre. The journal encourages a writer-to-reader conversation, one that explores the markers and boundaries of literary/creative nonfiction.</p> <p>Editors: Patrick Madden and Joey Franklin, <em>Brigham Young University</em></p>Michigan State University Pressen-USFourth Genre1522-3868An Ars Poetica, Sort of
