A Gathering of the Tribes Magazine Online continues the legacy of its print predecessor, a publication rooted in the downtown New York arts scene since the early 1990s. Founded by the poet and editor Steve Cannon, the magazine has long served as a platform for voices that challenge the mainstream, with a particular emphasis on work that engages with issues of race, class, and cultural identity. The online iteration extends this mission into the digital sphere, offering a space for literary work that is urgent, unflinching, and formally adventurous. The magazine publishes fiction, poetry, and nonfiction, with no stated restrictions on style or subject matter. While the editorial focus remains open, the historical context of the publication suggests a receptivity to work that is politically engaged, experimental, and rooted in lived experience. Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis, allowing writers to submit at any time without the pressure of a deadline. There is no submission fee, though the magazine does not currently offer monetary compensation for published work. For writers, the opportunity is one of visibility within a storied literary lineage. Publication in A Gathering of the Tribes places work alongside that of previous contributors who have shaped contemporary letters. The magazine's online format ensures accessibility to a broad readership, and its editorial team remains committed to amplifying underrepresented voices. This is not a venue for polished but safe writing; it is a space for work that takes risks and speaks with necessity.
