CrossBridge October 2018 Robert Caine

CrossBridge is a multidisciplinary and thought provoking cross-over between peer-reviewed academic journal, public affairs magazine, and visual art/literary review. Steven Johnson in Where Good Ideas Come From: The Natural History of Innovation (2011) wrote that spaces that allow "collision of creativity" between people of different backgrounds facilitates innovation. CrossBridge aims at being such a space. This issue includes: Politics: Donald Trump's Wrestling Roots Media: Implications of Journalism's Tall Tales on a Telling Public Politics: Dependency in the Age of American FascismPoetry: The Muse Object Project Reflections: Celebrating Life with Grief - The Talent of Deep Living Short story: Time Zone Visual art: Between Light and Darkness Book review: The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto Our authors and artists are inspirational thought leaders who bring forth provocative and actionable ideas, bridge gaps between theories and practice, and initiate personal and social transformation.
