About the magazine

Periphery Journal is an independent literary and arts publication founded in 2010 with the aim of showcasing work that exists at the margins of mainstream cultural discourse. Its founding ethos is rooted in a commitment to experimental writing, translation, and visual art that challenges conventional boundaries. The journal publishes two issues per year, each featuring a mix of poetry, fiction, essays, and art, with a particular emphasis on voices from underrepresented communities and geographic regions. Over time, Periphery has become known for its discerning editorial eye and its dedication to fostering a community of artists and writers who might otherwise remain on the periphery of the publishing world.
