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.
