In this breakthrough collection, editors Jennifer Krlin and Amelia Borofsky bring forth the fresh voices of more than forty writers and artists, all of whom are in their twenties. Featuring a unique combination of writings, poetry, photography, and painting, this is the first significant work in the genre.
From a lament on the life of an office temp to an elegy to college days, from travels abroad to travels within, ReGeneration documents the experiences, difficulties, and successes of growing up and living in a world that is moving faster than ever. The contributors actively create new, diverse models of self-identity, interpersonal relationships, working environments, and visions for the future.
In addition to showcasing work from up-and-coming artists, ReGeneration offers pieces by such diverse and prominent writers as Jedediah Purdy, the bestselling author of For Common Things, and Sasha Cagen, the founder and publisher of To-Do List magazine; poetry by deaf artist/photographer/storyteller/actress Ayisha Knight; and an essay by activist and award-winning slam poet Saul Williams. As the preeminent work on twentysomething self-expression, this is a book for an entire generation to embrace and for everyone to enjoy.
