About the magazine

Sontag Mag is an online literary and arts magazine founded in 2020, named in homage to Susan Sontag. The publication emerged from a desire to create a space for rigorous, intellectually engaged writing and art that resists the ephemeral trends of digital culture. Its core mission is to publish work that demonstrates formal ambition, critical inquiry, and a willingness to grapple with complex ideas. The magazine is committed to fostering a community of readers and writers who value depth over speed, and it seeks to uphold the essayistic tradition Sontag embodied—one that bridges the personal and the theoretical with clarity and courage.

Editorial focus

Sontag Mag is a literary magazine appearing triannually and devoted to fostering a community of poets and translators and promoting works exceptional in craft.
