Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
libre wants to publish writing about mental health, whether that takes the shape and structure of surrealist short story, true-to-life flash fiction, micro cnf memoir, brief essay, or visual art. we’re especially in love with a lyrical turn of phrase & writing that reddens with prophetic wisdom. we’re interested in essays that bravely look beneath the baklavaic nature of genre, that aren’t afraid of light research or the well-placed realist anecdote in mythic context. write to us about phenomena of the mind, steep her in scene & symbol. tell us about the time your brain went sideways. we’re here to prove the existence of ourselves. send us artwork in the same vein: doodles, acrylics, sketches, collages & photographs. libre aims to be a repository for stories & art that walk the genres’ tightrope between insanity and illumination. Our main goals are three-fold: 1. to uplift the marginalized voices of the mentally ill & those whose lives are affected by mental health; 2. to celebrate the excruciatingly nuanced boundaries and expressionistic approaches that magical realist literature and artwork bring to our otherwise mundane realities; 3. to explore the oftentimes overlooked intersection that quietly, but stubbornly blooms between fabulist and health-oriented writing.
