Issue 1
Rivet Issue 1
The inaugural issue of Rivet will take you to places on the map and in the mind that are both uncannily familiar and intimately foreign. Whether set in Midwestern suburbia or outer space, these pieces explore belonging, otherness, and the liminal spaces between.
The twelve authors featured here include emerging and established writers from around the U.S. and abroad. You’ll find fiction by Danielle Susi, Jønathan Lyons, Jude Bridge, Killian Czuba, Owen Wynne Jones, and Siamak Vossoughi; poetry by Aimee Herman, Alan Catlin, harvey ellis, Sharon Coleman, and Steve Light; and an essay on a personal kind of hybridity by Gyasi Byng.
