quiddity (n.) ~ the real nature or essence of a thing; that which makes it what it is


“Quiddity is simply delightful…it goes about its business of  entertaining the masses of literary fandom…with an originality never  seen…a wonderful romp through words…writing of the finest example…it  doesn’t get any better than this.”

                                        ~NewPages


“The brilliant thing about the medium is to hear poets  reading, speaking and singing their works and the extra impact that it  makes on the listener.”

                                        ~Cambridge University Press

Quiddity is a multimedia arts venue featuring an international literary journal, an NPR Illinois program, and a visiting writer and artist series.  


Each publication and broadcast features the evocative and sensate essence of the human experience expressed by poets and writers across the globe.
