Malleable and True: A Hybrid Craft Anthology, the first publication of the Brink Books imprint, is a dynamic collection for readers, writers, and educators that explores the complexity and craft of hybrid writing. An unparalleled project, the anthology features work from past contributors such as Arisa White, Gyasi Hall, Elissa Washuta, Sarah Minor, Wendy Cheng, Beth Ann Fennelly, Victoria Chang, Bennett Sims, Elizabeth McTernan, Granville Carroll, and Anna Joy Springer.

In this anthology, curiosity is the driving force, as select contributors from Brink Literary Journal's first ten issues re-engage with their previously published pieces in three ways, offering new work, craft prompts, and reflections on hybrid writing:

• ENGAGE: Alongside the original piece, you'll find new work that engages with the original in a fresh and meaningful way, such as updates to the original piece, process notes, new pieces that are connected to the original, and so on.
• GENERATE: To foster engagement and exploration, each contributor has provided generative prompts related to their work and hybrid writing in general. This empowers readers and educators to delve deeper into the world of hybrid writing, sparking creativity and dialogue.
• REFLECT: Hybrid work is notoriously slippery and hard to define. That's why we've asked our contributors to share their reflections on what hybrid writing means to them, providing valuable insight into its diverse forms and potentials.
