The Understander Issue. Are you an Understander? When T. S. Eliot
hit the scene with his rare and unique poetry, he faced mounds of
criticism. But despite the critics, Eliot stayed true to his art
and believed in it, even when others didn't. His response was that
he wasn't writing for the average person, but rather for the
Understanders, readers that were intelligent and exceptional, the
rare crowd that would take the time to savor his work. So are you
an Understander? If so, then this issue is dedicated to you. It is
also dedicated to every artist who stays true to their art and
vision amid the naysayers. If you're new to American Athenaeum,
then get ready for a museum-like adventure. Our issues are designed
to feel like you've stepped into an athenaeum, connecting you to
writers from the past, as well as the present. Along the way,
you'll make stops through our unique departments: America Talks,
Compassion City, Voices of Endangered Species, Author Book Reviews,
and more. There is something for everyone here. Some writers you'll
encounter: Carol Alexander, Steven Cramer, Pat Lowery Collins,
Donald Dewey, Meredith Doench, Nora L. Jamieson, William Lychack,
Ed Tasca, Jacqueline West, and many more. Cover photo by Harun
