About the magazine

Petrichor is an online literary and arts magazine founded in 2019, taking its name from the earthy scent after rain. The journal publishes poetry, fiction, and visual art that engage with themes of renewal, memory, and the natural world. Its founding ethos centers on work that is attentive to language and image, favoring subtlety over spectacle and emotional resonance over trend. Each issue is curated to create a cohesive reading experience, often juxtaposing text and visual art in thoughtful dialogue.

Editorial focus

The digital archive petrichor publishes a variety of writers in contemporary art and poetics. The editors are particularly interested in strong image and experimental work of a visual nature.
