The editorial team at Hunger Mountain is known for its careful attention to each submission, ensuring that every piece is given thoughtful consideration. The curatorial vision for Hunger Mountain is to assemble writing that challenges, moves, and illuminates the human experience. The editors are interested in work that demonstrates a mastery of language and a deep understanding of narrative or poetic form. Whether it is a short story that explores the complexities of contemporary life, a poem that captures a fleeting moment with precision, or an essay that interrogates personal or cultural truths, the journal aims to publish writing that endures.
