Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
This magazine was founded by two literary critics with a passion for reading and writing. We started Intricacy: A Literary Review because we admire writing that seeks to unravel and examine the beautiful, difficult, and messy aspects of life. Rather than neat and tidy conclusions, we prefer work that offers opportunities for reflection and and inquiry, words that linger with us long after the last line. And, as voracious readers ourselves, we also wish to curate issues that entrance and challenge a wide variety of readers. We like thematic and formal intricacy. For us, intricate writing is literary and lovely even when dealing with sad and ugly truths; work in which the precision, creativity, and experimentation put into crafting the language is undeniable and in which the attempt to provide insights about life is delicately woven. Like lace, where each stitch is carefully crafted, aesthetically pleasing, and serves a specific purpose, intricate writing is not superfluous but a complete, complex, and captivating composition.
