Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Origins is a literary journal that explores the narrative arts through the lens of identity. We're interested in distinct voices. Writing that tells us something about a character's roots or what makes her unique. Stories that transport us across town and country, beyond and within borders both physical and abstract, to discrete moments that change or define us. We want to read provocative poems and have gripping conversations with writers about everything from craft to creativity. We want to engage with communities to amplify underrepresented and marginalized voices. Literature offers us the opportunity to endlessly interpret who we are as human beings.This journal is a celebration and investigation of our diverse origins and the art that inevitably springs forth.
