About

Confluences | 合流 /ˈkɒnflʊəns/

the junction of two rivers / the process of merging.

Confluences is a literary platform by NYU Shanghai, for NYU Shanghai.  We aim to build our writing community through the sharing of creative works of various genres, by writers of different genres, contexts and spaces.  2 “channels”, or publications, are housed here: 

  1. The Poplar Review | 高杨– A yearly collection of the best works by our Creative Writing minors;
  2. Bright Lines | 青思 – A collection of new works, works-in-progress, new entries: by writers in our school community.  Submissions are open to all writers in our community.

Confluences seeks to promote exchange, community, and the development of a bold and varied literary community at NYU Shanghai.
