An annual journal of arts & letters
The founding editors of 580 Split published their first issue in 1999. Julianne Bonnet and Daphne Young wrote,
“…an ominous headline on the Jan/Feb 1999 issue of Poets & Writers pronounced: “Don’t Start a Literary Journal (And How to if You Can’t Resist)” by Dennis Held. It was a cause for collective momentary reflection. What the hell are we doing?”
Little did they know what they were hatching back then.
The journal they began has persisted for 20 years now. It is with a sense of humility that I have the honor of launching 580 Split into cyberspace with this special anniversary issue that collects some of our favorite work from the last two decades. We are proud to present Anthologia in celebration of 20 years of publishing innovative and risk taking fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry, and art. May the next 20 years be as fruitful, as daring, as grand.
