BRATTLEBORO, Vermont, May 10, 2019: It might be an understatement to say that America is filled with literary magazines—each one trying to carve its own niche as it relates to the scene.

The magazine seeks to bridge the rural-urban gap by first connecting and empowering our most marginalized rural communities.
