In examinations of identity--personal, familial, racial, and cultural--and investigations of the far-reaching shockwaves of war; in mediations on illness and health, belonging and alienation, parents and children; in unexpected arguments about novel-writing, Donald Trump, and the Filet-O-Fish sandwich, the essays gathered here chart all kinds of boundaries, comprising, as Silcoff terms it, \"a small bid for understanding that a border, a line drawn, need not be only the beginning or the end of something. That a frontier can be a place--indeed is the best place--for a conversation between sides to begin.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeaturing works by: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJamaluddin Aram - Sharon Butala - Kunal Chaudhary - Christopher Cheung - Emma Gilchrist - Michelle Good - Paul Howe - Jane Hu - Heather Jessup - Chafic LaRochelle - Stephen Marche - Kathy Page - Tom Rachman - M.E.
