Editorial Focus

Phare, an old English word for lighthouse or beacon to guide seafarers, is a United Kingdom–based literary magazine which, true to its name, “shines a light on exceptional writing from around the world.” They like reading words that hold a mirror up to themselves—something that reflects the truth of being human.
