FULCRUM is an international anthology published by Evolution Arts Inc, a registered non-profit.From FULCRUM's Mission statement:Launched at the turn of the new millennium, Fulcrum: an anthology of poetry and aesthetics is a one-of-a-kind international literary annual that includes poetry, critical and philosophical essays on poetry, debates and visual art in every issue. It aims to offer an evolving map of what is most important and vibrant in the current poetic process throughout the English-speaking world, with occasional detours into other lands. Fulcrum publishes poetic and critical work of the highest quality from all regions populated by the English language and generates a global cross-talk on vital issues among poets, critics, philosophers, artists, psychologists and other humanists.The annual strives to act as the hub of the global social universe that is poetry, and thereby to enrich the diversity, flexibility, and aesthetic and communicative capabilities of English. The idea of Fulcrum was born out of the realization that the hardest thing for literary artists is to keep on speaking terms with each other. Contemporary English-language poetry does not yet know itself well. Genuinely international, broadminded anthologies remain in short supply. Fulcrum welcomes poetry marked by all kinds of local accents, in a variety of forms, registers and dialects.Much of the available plethora of aesthetic discourse by poets today is resignedly tautologous, speaking as it does to the converted and the like-minded. Fulcrum's goal, by contrast, is to produce intelligent sparks through the twining of differently charged wires. Poetry—the total poetic energy of our language transmitted through its finest practitioners—will benefit from a greater self-knowledge gained from genuine conversations across geographical and aesthetic space.
