Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Catbird Review is a new literary magazine founded in 2026. Our title is not only an homage to the little gray birds that populate our beloved New England woods; it also defines our mission. The word itself is a dichotomy, an amalgamation of a predator and its prey, the hunter and the hunted. The real catbirds are aptly named; they are birds that mew like cats. Their voices are surprising, unexpected, wondrous, and familiar. After all, the catbird is common, an everyday visitor. For all that it is special, it is also ubiquitous. Like this namesake, Catbird Review searches for voices that are fresh, unique, and relatable in a deeply human way. We are looking for poems that rattle the bones and inspire the spirit, poems that speak to the individuality of experience and the universality of existence. If your poem hasn’t found a home anywhere else, it may be just what we’re looking for. We welcome formal poems, rhyming poems, poems in new formats, and poems that cross genres, as well as free verse in the usual formats. We welcome work by writers at all stages of their careers.
