Common Foundation Inc.

The Common is a literary organization whose mission is to deepen our individual and collective sense of place. Together with Amherst College, The Common uses literature to promote empathetic civic responsibility within our communities and to set forth the liberal arts and humanities as essential foundations for conscious engagement and change
We publish works that embody particular times and places—literature and art powerful enough to reach from there to here—and feature new and underrepresented voices from around the world.
We aim to serve as a vibrant common space for the global exchange of ideas and experiences through three main areas of activity: publishing, public programming, and mentorship and education.
