Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Pleiades: Literature in Context is a nationally recognized literary magazine published by the University of Central Missouri. Each issue includes a guest-edited folio that highlights literature within a specific cultural or geographic context. These folios, beginning 2026, are re-published on our website. Our tagline, “literature in context,” reflects our commitment to publishing work that engages with place, community, and the diverse conditions that shape creative expression. We publish original poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, works in translation, book reviews, and interviews. Our print issues are published twice per year, Spring and Fall.
