Editorial Focus

The museum of americana is an online literary review dedicated to fiction, poetry, nonfiction, photography, music, and artwork that revives or repurposes the old, the dying, the forgotten, or the almost entirely unknown aspects of Americana. It is published purely out of a fascination with the big, weird, wildly contradictory collage that is the nation’s cultural history. Issues appear three times a year, in the winter, summer, and fall.

Tips From the Editor

We seek work that engages or repurposes America’s complex cultural history—original and unpublished prose, poetry, nonfiction, humor, book/chapbook reviews, interviews, music, photography, art and photography. Give us fiction that dramatizes old folk songs or steals their characters—give us love poetry with language cribbed from The Federalist Papers. Recent features Americana from BIPOC writers in Issue 25, an issue on Queering Americana, a special section in Issue 31, The Food Court, and a new weekly feature of poetry and prose, Americana Stories.
