Author Description

As the tempestuous race for the White House reaches its zenith, it can be easy to lose sight of the more human issues that define the political landscape: our fears about the present, and our hopes for the future. Taking this broader view, "Tin House s" political issue steps into the void, injecting the realm of politics with its trademark literary perspective. Featuring compelling fiction and poetry, incisive non-fiction, and a forum of some of the most politically minded writers working today, this issue promises to deepen our understanding of the next hopeful steps for America and for the world."
