About Us
Collision strives to creatively inspire, converse with, and provoke, the thoughts and emotions of our readers. We value the discovery process and the innate truths creative nonfiction seeks to explore. In the introduction to The Best American Essays 2000, Collision finds a like mind, and a way to gracefully articulate our mission. In this introduction, Alan Lightman writes, "…to see a mind at work, imagining, spinning, struggling to understand. If the essayist has all the answers, then he isn't struggling to grasp. When you care about something, you continually grapple with it, because it is alive in you." And this is what we at Collision strive for, to publish the kind of writing that becomes alive in us all.
