ABOUT BROADSIDED
Once a month, on or about the first, a new broadside is posted both on this site and around the nation.
Writing is chosen through submissions sent to Broadsided. Artists allied with Broadsided are emailed the selected writing. They then "dibs" what resonates for them and respond visually.
The resulting letter-sized pdf is designed to be downloaded and printed by anyone with a computer and printer.
Our goal is to create something both gorgeous and cheap.
We want to put words and art on the streets.
Broadsided News/Interviews
ABOUT THE EDITORS
Elizabeth Bradfield, Founder and Editor: Author of Interpretive Work (Arktoi Books/Red Hen Press, 2008), Liz is a poet whose work has appeared in Poetry, The Atlantic Monthly, Prairie Schooner, The Best New Poets 2006 and elsewhere (www.ebradfield.com). Liz earns a living as a web designer and naturalist, though for the coming two years she is a Wallace Stegner Fellow at Stanford University. Why Broadsided? Well, the idea of literary/visual collaboration has always fired her up. Also, it was pretty hard to put your hands on a literary journal in Anchorage, where she lived when the project was begun. She wants poems out in the world, escaping their perfect-bound covers.
Mark Temelko, Editor, is a poet living in central New York (the rural/rust belt part). He works as a staffwriter at Wells College, where he also teaches poetry as a part-time adjunct. He's currently working on his first manuscript of poems. Current infatuations: the poetry of Gwendolyn Brooks and Eliot Coleman's four-season harvest.
Lynn Stanley is an artist and a writer. She attended the School of Visual Arts and Queens College, where her focus was in painting. In 1997 she received her BA in studio Art at Smith College as an Ada Comstock Scholar, where she produced letter press books, broadsides, and non-conventional book forms. Stanley was a Colby Fellow at the University of Michigan, where she received an MFA in Creative Writing in 2000. She has taught creative writing at the University of Michigan and Cape Cod Community College.
As the Curator of Education at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM), her current position, Lynn has facilitated numerous creative writing sessions, in relation to works of art, for children and adults. She is a grant recipient for poetry from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and the Provincetown Cultural Council. A chapbook of her poetry, Gravity Claims Us, is available from Folly Cover Press. Her visual work is represented at the School House Galleries in Provincetown, MA. Examples of her poetry and artwork can be seen at www.lynn-stanley.com.
What is "The Switcheroo," you ask? Usually, visual artists respond to written work at Broadsided. In "The Switcheroo," artists submit work, the curator chooses one piece, and writers are asked to respond. We hope to make this a regular feature of Broadsided.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Broadsided artists come to this project through a love of collaboration. Graphic designers, sculptors, painters, photographers, and artists of every sort are represented here. Once Broadsided artists have "Dibsed" a piece of writing selected for publication, they create a response without any input from the editors.
The Broadsided artists are talented, interesting, and diverse. Meet them:

A. F. Norling (www.afnorling.com): "I am 35 years old, married, with a young daughter and two dogs of questionable breeding. I have lived in Maine for the majority of my life and enjoy it thoroughly in the late spring, summer and early fall. My history includes growing up on a working farm, giving my poor parents an amazing amount of grief, and reluctantly attending various grade schools. Eventually, I found my niche at the Rhode Island School of Design. I'm a professional daydreamer and my artwork is dictated by emotion."
