To celebrate the release of Lawrence Weschler's Everything That Rises: A Book of Convergences, we've launched an extravagant contest: A Convergence of Convergences. Submit your own convergence −an unlikely, striking pair of images, along with a paragraph or three exploring the deeper resonances. The best contributions will be posted on the site, along with responding commentary from Weschler. Please send your submissions to everything@mcsweeneys.net − if your images are attachments (rather than links), please keep them under 1 megabyte.
