About Chelsea: Since 1958, Chelsea has been a leading international literary magazine emphasizing translations and the work of emerging writers. Among those who found a place at Chelsea before they were established authors are W. S. Merwin, Sylvia Plath, A. R. Ammons, and Paul Auster.
FARRAH FIELD’s work has appeared in The Massachusetts Review, Harpur Palate, and Pool, among others, and is forthcoming in Margie. She teaches high school English in Manhattan.
GAIL SEGAL’s first manuscript of poems, In Gravity’s Pull, was published in 2002. Her poems have appeared in The Virginia Quarterly Review, The Marlboro Review, and Gulf Coast, among others. Her most recent essay, “A Praise of Doubt,” is collected in a book of essays, Artistic Citizenship: A Public Voice for the Arts.
ANNABELLE YEESEUL YOO is a poet and classically trained pianist.

About us
Hello! We're a small band of media enthusiasts, culture addicts, and journalists based in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Emdashes, formerly a New Yorker fan site, is our collection of conversations—mostly civilized—about magazines, movies, politics, design, punctuation, and other things that stir us.
You'd like to know more about the writers and artists and what our column titles mean? We live to serve!
We welcome tips, questions, comments, and corrections, and are always on the lookout for ardent, obsessive new contributors. Click here to email us.
We host occasional book giveaways. Publishers, please email us for our postal address.

Dashes, some say, “are particularly useful in a sentence that is long and complex.” Emdashes—like an em dash itself—provides a thoughtful pause amid the hubbub.
Emdashes, founded in 2004, is written and drawn by Emily Gordon, Martin Schneider, Pollux, Jonathan Taylor, and Benjamin Chambers, as well as occasional guest contributors. All posts before October 2008 are by Emily Gordon.
The site was designed by House of Pretty with illustrations by Jesse R. Ewing.
Additional drawings are by Carolita Johnson and Pollux (author of our web comic, "The Wavy Rule"). The Emdashes pencil logo is by Jennifer Hadley, based on a 1943 Dorothy Gray ad.
