Magazine Stand :: Kaleidoscope – Summer/Fall 2025

Kaleidoscope Summer/Fall 2025 magazine cover image

Kaleidoscope explores the experience of disability through literature and the fine arts, and the Summer/Fall 2025 issue (#91) is available now. Things are not always as they seem and coming to this realization usually requires a shift in perspective, a lesson learned by young and old alike in this issue.

In the featured essay, “Iron Girl,” Cassandra Brandt was a rarity as an iron worker and welder in a field that was predominately male. At thirty-two, she was a strong, fearless, self-sufficient, and adventurous single mom of a thirteen-year-old daughter. She felt at home on a construction site, hard hat and steel-toed boots on, climbing onto beams several floors above the ground. When a car accident left her paralyzed from the chest down, she went from fiercely independent to utterly dependent in the blink of an eye. It would take time for her to redefine herself and recover her mental toughness.

Artist Erika Marie York is featured in this issue along with many talented writers: Jennifer Lee Austin, David Bachmann, Notty Bumbo, Douglas G. Campbell, Mimi Eagar, Hannah Ehrlich, Elly Katz, Isolde Keilhofer, Rowan MacDonald, Allegra M. Marcell, Deb Robert, Wendy Sheehan, Naomi Stenberg, Poppy Reeves, Mary Ellen Talley, Joseph Trance, Susan Levi Wallach, Devon Wells, and Emily Yates.

These contributors represent a broad range of backgrounds, experience, and viewpoints and hail from several countries and walks of life, including physicians, educators, actors, editors and novices, as well as seasoned authors/artists and best sellers. Take a break and dip a toe in this refreshing summer issue of Cool Beans Lit.

Magazine Stand :: Blink-Ink – #60

Blink Ink Issue #60 cover image

The theme for Blink-Ink Issue #60 is “Seeds,” which could mean a small thing that we plant and nurture to grow bigger things we need, or it could mean a promise, a hope, a plan to provide and to make things better. Seeds can also be where the future waits and dreams or even stays dormant, waiting for just the right moment to burst forth. Writers submitted their best stories of “around 50 words,” and those whose works were planted in this issue include Maddie W. White, Kathy Lynn Carroll, Anne Anthony, Richard Zboray, Vali Hawkins Mitchell, Sushmita Sridhar, S.A.

Magazine Stand :: New England Review – 46.2

New England Review Issue 46.2 magazine cover image

New England Review 46.2 features stirring prose by Kirk Wilson, Nur Turkmani, and Rebecca Chace; luminous poetry by Bridget Lowe, Inkyoo Lee, and Jon Pineda; the special folio “The Sharpened Will of Us All”: Contemporary Salvadoran Writing in Translation, guest edited by Alexandra Lytton Regalado; and much more. Cover art: Homogenized, 60×36 inches, acrylic and multimedia on canvas, by Josué Rojas.

Additionally, in the Editor’s Note, Carolyn Kuebler contemplates with readers on the shifting threats we are negotiating daily and the role of literature in the fray: “Authoritarianism has always been antithetical to literature, which questions what we’re told and how to think. Even when it’s being ignored, literature works as a tool for freedom: freedom to create, reflect, observe, tell the truth, and imagine; freedom from ‘the tyranny of the present.’ But when the margins no longer offer cover, when you’re no longer invisible but vulnerable at the center, then what? Like in dodgeball, is it preferable to concede? To dodge and continue to play by the rules, or walk away from the game entirely? Maybe the metaphor ends here, because when it comes to writing, publishing, and the work of NER, we plan to stay in the game as long as possible.”

Magazine Stand :: About Place – May 2025

About Place May 2025 literary journal cover image

“Careful/Care-full Collaboration,” the May 2025 issue of About Place Journal, is now available for readers to enjoy open-access online in addition to the publication’s full archive.

“Creative collaboration,” write the editors, “is an opportunity to summon and practice ways of being in the world that honor multiplicity, reciprocity, reflection, and, foremost, care. Challenging myths of exceptional individualism as constructed within colonial and capitalist contexts, collaboration arises as a method of and commitment to seeding and nurturing webs of knowledge, histories, practices, and relationships with each other and the places that are sacred to us. Guided by these understandings, the most recent issue of About Place Journal contemplates what it means to entangle in co-creative practices and processes that are both careful and full of care.”

About Place is a literary journal published by the Black Earth Institute, dedicated to re-forging the links between art and spirit, earth and society.

Consequence Volume 17.1 Now Available

click image to open flyer

In Consequence Volume 17.1, a theme emerges of how affecting a difference doesn’t only have to happen on a global scale—it can and should include the more local ones. This is maybe most conspicuously expressed in the essay “A Trip to Kosovo” where a doctor returns to the war-torn country to navigate its broken bureaucracy in hopes of getting his nephew immediate cancer treatment and ends on the line: If the world can be saved, it will be by small acts of kindness. View flyer for more information.

Posit Issue 39 literary magazine cover image

Introducing readers to Posit Issue 39, the editors write, “Four months into the ever-more-alarming New World Disorder seems like as good a time as any to offer something other to contemplate…if not an antidote, then at least a respite, and perhaps a reminder of what else we humans can produce.” The works in this open-access online issue, note the editors, “we believe they can help. Help us see and feel more deeply. Help us confront where we are in these drastic and alarming times. And help us imagine going forward.”

New Lit on the Block :: Apotheca Journal

Apotheca Journal June 2025

If literary publications are concerned about their future, they might do well to assess what they are doing to fuel the creative interests of the next generation, as evidenced by Apotheca Journal, a monthly online publication showcasing poetry, short stories, novel excerpts, creative non-fiction, photography, artwork, and more by contributors aged 14-22.

Founder and Editor Ann Sproul explains how one experience encouraged her to launch a literary magazine, “When I was in seventh grade, I received my first writing award: publication and a $1,000 scholarship from Bluefire Journal. The whole experience really raised my confidence not only as a writer but as a person. Ever since then, I have wanted to edit for a magazine. The world needs young writers and artists who realize that their voice is valuable. Those are the people who are going to grow up and be unapologetic for what they have to say. It can be difficult for young writers and artists since the majority of magazines are for adults. Through Apotheca, I am hoping to afford other young writers and artists the same confidence I felt when I was first published.”

New Lit on the Block :: KUDU

KUDU literary magazine volume 1 cover image

Despite what can feel like global doom and gloom on the daily, the literary world still finds much to inspire its community to create, share, and engage. While seemingly small, KUDU: A Journal Of South African Writing is a free, professionally designed online publication of poetry, short fiction, nonfiction, and visual art by both new and well-known names with a growing reputation. Twice a year, readers can enjoy reading online or downloading a printable PDF.

While the name may seem unique to those of us on this continent, KUDU is a Khoikhoi term chosen to honor the Khoisan peoples, the first indigenous peoples of South Africa. “It goes back to thousands of years ago,” Founder and Editor Claudio Perinot explains, “to the first recorded inhabitants of South Africa, the Khoisans.”

Magazine Stand :: Consequence – 17.1

Consequence Issue 17.1 literary magazine cover image

Consequence Volume 17.1 is full of prose, poetry, and visual art addressing the consequences of war and geopolitical violence. In this issue, a theme emerged of how affecting a difference doesn’t only have to happen on a global scale — it can and should include the more local ones.

This is expressed in “A Trip to Kosovo” where a doctor returns to the war-torn country to navigate its broken bureaucracy in hopes of getting his nephew immediate cancer treatment (a piece that pointedly ends with: If the world can be saved, it will be by small acts of kindness). It appears in “Withdrawal” with the narrator always answering his phone in case it’s a fellow soldier or a refugee in dire need. It’s there in “The Lucky Ones” as a director for an adoption agency in Korea reveals to women the tricks necessary to help their babies find safe homes.

Maybe the most conspicuous example of this theme, though, is in the Translations Feature, which consists of works written in Arabic and centering on the Palestinian experience. Translations Editors Parisa Saranj and Fathima M. frame all ten pieces of the feature by stating, What else can we do but bear witness to the pain of our fellow human beings? Literature has been the first recordkeeper of what humans are capable of doing to and for each other.

Magazine Stand :: Southern Humanities Review – 58.1

Southern Humanities Review 58.1 magazine cover image

The newest issue of Southern Humanities Review is introduced by Guest Poetry Editor Jeremy Paden, “On Appalachian Roots,” which opens:

“Who gets to speak for a region? What voices, stories, and accents get to represent a place? And when the place is as vast as Appalachia, one that spans thirteen states and is divided into five subregions? [. . . ] Once J.D. Vance was picked as the vice presidential running mate for the Republican ticket in the summer of 2024, his 2016 book, Hillbilly Elegy, returned to bestseller lists and the national conversation. As a result, I was asked to curate a selection of poems on Appalachia by Appalachians. After all, whatever people think of his memoir, it is not about Appalachia.”

Those poets featured here include Willie Carver, Bernard Clay, Dorian Hairston, Pauletta Hansel, Marc Harshman, Jane Hicks, Silas House, Lisa J. Parker, Randi Ward, William Woolfitt, and Marianne Worthington. The issue also includes nonfiction by Joanna Acevedo and Madeline Jones, and fiction by Sara Levine, Sumita Mukherji, Enyinna Nnabuihe, and Cotton O’Connell. Cover art by Frederic Edwin Church, Storm in the Mountains, 1847, oil on canvas.

New Lit on the Block :: Tween Magazine

Tween Magazine Issue 1 cover image

In a world that can feel overrun with digital content, print still holds its own and can, in fact, provide some much-needed relief from tech fatigue. This can be especially important for young people, which is where Tween Magazine shines like a beacon in the night. “As parents learn the negative effects of social media and devices, they are returning to more traditional media,” says Founding Editor and Creative Director Mary Flenner. “Tween Magazine offers girls a screen-free chance to engage, learn life skills, build confidence, and find inspiration.”

Tween girls are those in that “in between” stage of life, the preteen years where they are leaving childhood and entering adolescence. “We aim to fill the content void for young girls 8 to 12 who have outgrown children’s magazines but aren’t ready for the mature content in teen magazines,” explains Flenner.

New Lit on the Block :: Silly Goose Press

Silly Goose Press logo image

A name like Silly Goose Press can’t help but attract such comments as “Have you seen that egg?!” or “What a honking good time they are to be around!” which the editors would take as high praise, along with recognition for knowing how to use an Oxford comma. Puns (mostly) aside, Silly Goose Press is a new, online magazine publishing poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction, art, and photography roughly every four months. Readers can enjoy accessing each piece individually online or via PDF which can be downloaded – all for free.

Silly Goose Press was inspired when the editors attended their first AWP conference. “We are best friends who love flocking together,” says Editor-in-Chief Rhiannon Fisher, “just a group of silly geese and always have been. The publication name is an inside joke amongst writing friends that has evolved into something magical.” After the conference, Fisher says, “We challenged ourselves to expand our knowledge of and place in the literary world. We wanted to be a part of something bigger than our individual literary careers, make friends, and build community. Also, now we are legally bound to maintain a friendship.”

Thorn & Bloom Issue 1 cover

Thorn & Bloom: A Bold New Literary Magazine Cultivating Self-Care as Resistance
Published by redrosethorns Ltd. Liability Co., March 2025

Thorn & Bloom is a quarterly literary magazine that reimagines self-care as an act of resistance, reclamation, and radical honesty. Through a curated collection of essays, poetry, fiction, and expert insight, the magazine explores personal healing as a catalyst for collective liberation.

Launched last month, the debut issue features a diverse range of emerging and established voices who offer grounded self-care practices, challenge internalized narratives, and illuminate the social conditioning that distances us from our authentic selves. Thorn & Bloom brings a fresh voice to the literary landscape—one that dares to treat self-care not as luxury or aesthetic, but as essential, intentional, and deeply political. The magazine is rooted in a commitment to inclusivity, empowerment, and truth-telling, offering a platform for stories that are both tender and transformative; inviting readers to embrace storytelling as a healing practice and self-care as a radical path to liberation.

Magazine Stand :: Bellevue Literary Review – 48

Bellevue Literary Review Issue 48 magazine cover image

Assistant Fiction Editor Lauralee Leonard opens Bellevue Literary Review Issue 48 with reflective inquiry for readers and writers alike, “Where does a story bring us? Where do we get when we read a poem to its end for the first time, the second time, the third time? How is it that a person we are likely never to meet, through only words arranged on a page, can enter our consciousness so fully? And how does it happen that we surrender so completely to a created place that we are jolted, at the end, to find ourselves still in our own chair, suspended momentarily between worlds?”

Offering readers the opportunity for further contemplation, this issue offers fiction by Fiona Ennis (Winner of the Goldenberg Prize for Fiction), Chinaecherem Obor (Honorable Mention), Nandini Bhattacharya, Ronald Niezen, Yuya Hattori, Michael Welch, Marcia Walker, TW Dalton, Sabrina D. Wang; nonfiction by Pia Jee-Hae Baur (Winner of the Felice Buckvar Prize for Nonfiction), Liesel Hamilton (Honorable Mention), Carlos Rafael Gómez, Veronica Cano, Diane Zinna; and poetry by Sandra Dolores Gómez Amador (Winner of the John and Eileen Allman Prize for Poetry), Cedric Rudolph (Honorable Mention), Laura E. Garrard, Karen Zheng, Maya Klauber, Laurie Sansom, Michael Montlack, Christopher Stewart, Timothy Kelly, Won Lee, Brett Warren, Kelly Grace Thomas, Bridget Bell, Cecil Morris, Wendy Wisner, Becky Nicole James, Xinyue Huang, Joseph Radke, Judith Fox, Alexandra Ozols, and Rob Macaisa Colgate.
