Brian Phillip Whalen
[SALVAGE / SELVAGE]
Our summer double feature brings together ten brilliant writers, with no demarcation, on our part, between what is [Salvage] and [Selvage]. Rather, we ask you to ponder what in these texts attempts to “rescue,” “save,” or “extract”—and from what “edges” or “borders” they resist being “cut off” or “discarded.” May you find new treasures, emotions, or threads in these pages—and may what you’ve lost be returned.
