We are committed to publishing work from underrepresented voices, including people of color, women, people from LGBTQIA+ communities, and people who have disabilities. We value and emphasize relationships between the literary and visual arts, pairing the majority of the pieces we publish with original work from a variety of contributing visual artists.
