About the magazine

Wildness is an online literary magazine founded in 2015 with the aim of publishing work that explores the intersection of nature, culture, and the human experience. The magazine was established by a group of writers and artists who sought to create a space for voices that are often marginalized in traditional nature writing, emphasizing diverse perspectives and experimental forms. Over the years, Wildness has become known for its thoughtfully curated issues, featuring poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and visual art that challenge conventional notions of wilderness and belonging. Its mission is to foster a community of readers and writers who engage critically and creatively with the environment and our place within it.
