 multiple forms of creative expression;\n3) to provide emerging writers with 
 the opportunity to connect and work with each other and with established 
 writers in the literary world;\n4) to provide the community with an 
 opportunity to engage with new work and new explorations of form and 
 language;\n5) to contribute to the wealth of independent literary 
 publications by publishing a new chapbook from KSW Press & Intersection for
