Publications
The APL in concert with Rowman & Littlefield, publishes the Textures: Philosophy / Literature / Culture book series, which contains volumes of select submissions to its bi-annual conferences. Peer-reviewed, in-depth studies on a given topic chosen by the volume’s editor(s), the volume includes essays chosen for their development of aspects of the volume theme and for having lasting value. Led by Executive Editor John W. P. Phillips along with the APL Executive Committee members, each volume is edited typically by the conference host coordinator(s). Members can select one of the current volumes as part of their membership benefits each year.
