Upper Left Edge

You're welcome to stop by, whether you're looking to share a few memories or simply wishing to converse about whatever comes to mind.

“The upper left edge is the place on the page where we start writing.”

(peace be upon him)

The Upper Left Edge was published from 1992 to 2002 and distributed widely, from the north coast of Oregon to the Left Bank of Paris. Today, it's being revived in an online format by a growing community of writers, philosophers, thinkers, artists, and musicians- some new to the Edge, some old-timers.
