Ninth Letter

"Ninth Letter is a biannual publication dedicated to the examination of literature as it intersects with various aspects of contemporary culture and intellectual life; therefore, we welcome submissions of prose and poetry that test and even break the boundaries that attempt to isolate literature from other modes of creative expression. We are interested in prose and poetry that experiment with form, narrative, and nontraditional subject matter. We're also interested in work that doesn't experiment with the aforementioned, as long as it's really good."
