CrossBRONX is the digital presence of the Bronx Writers’ Center. lt showcases writers who live in or write about the Bronx and is a project of the Bronx Council on the Arts (BCA).

Whether you are new to the borough or a long-time native, a resident or someone who works and contributes your time and energy to a Bronx community, we are interested in your poems and stories (real and imagined.)

For this issue, the editor of CrossBRONX is a 2008/2009 BCA Literary Fellow, Silvia Morales.

If you are a writer or a reader, an artist in a different discipline, or just someone who loves the Bronx and is invested in the borough’s cultural life, we hope you will find something here which moves or inspires you.

CrossBRONX will be published throughout 2009. Look for updates monthly.
