ABOUT BHJ

BHJ is an online hypermedia journal curated, edited, designed, and maintained by the graduate Creative Writing program of Eastern Michigan University’s English Department. With a focus on interdisciplinary and hybrid arts especially emphasizing language innovation, BHJ seeks and presents works that upend convention and blur the lines of form and genre.

“BathHouse” connotes hybridity and history, recalling the 19th-century sanatoriums, bathhouses, and mineral water wells that flourished in Ypsilanti, Michigan at the turn of the century. The “foul-smelling” waters of the Atlantis well — in the vicinity of the current Jones-Goddard dorm on the EMU campus — were bottled and shipped nationwide and touted as a cure for 33 disorders of the blood, until the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906.
