The Winter Anthology

The Winter Anthology, published online since 2009, is an annual collection of literature. It has a very particular, consistent editorial vision, informed by an elegiac perspective on the humanities. The editors call this perspective: "A will to sustain the analog humanities as long as possible without naïveté regarding their eclipse by newer paradigms."

Michael Rutherglen writes: "The project is a vehicle for writings that continue to privilege density, precision... sensitivity to the numinous. The editors contend that nowhere else in print or on the web can such a concentration of these particular values be found... writings collected in The Winter Anthology are neither sentimental atavisms nor naïve attempts at reconstruction. Rather, they are elegies for art and artists, some explicit, many more implicit..."

The anthology has published such poets as Yves Bonnefoy, Lucie Brock-Broido, Jack Gilbert, and Charles Wright, such critics as Bruno Latour, Roberto Calasso, and Jean Baudrillard, and such fiction writers as Karl Ove Knausgård and Magdalena Tulli.
