Voices Of The Splinter Generation
Posted by anastasia on 10-30-2008
Back in April, I posted about a site from a collective of younger people attempting to rename their generation…and publish a collection of voices they felt reflected “The Splinter Generation.” They just published a collection of these voices online. From their description of the highlights:
We are thrilled about the amazing writers – many new and several established – who are a part of this project. We published Emma Komlos-Hrobsky, a twenty-two year old fiction writer with a hilarious send-up of both our generation and our parents’ generation. We published Joshua Tung, a fifteen year old Singaporean boy who has written an astounding poem about 9/11. We published an interview with Lance Corporal Poole, who was injured in Iraq, thirty-two year old Anirban Acharya’s poetry about cities, twenty-five year old Reuben Hayslett’s essay about loving a gay man in the military, and many, many others. Our writers are diverse; they are gay, straight, black, white, wealthy, poor, and from every corner of the country. But most importantly, they are outstanding voices of our generation.
Definitely worth a read…
