An international journal of literature and the arts. We provide a platform for works of art that challenge conventions of form and format, of voice and genre.

ANMLY is committed to actively seeking out and promoting the work of marginalized and underrepresented artists, including especially people of color, women, queer, disabled, neurodivergent, and gender nonconforming artists. 

ANMLY is committed to encouraging experimentation in the arts. 

ANMLY believes in the importance of compensating artists for their work, and we are working toward financial sustainability.

ANMLY focuses on especially innovative and experimental literature and arts. ANMLY is run by an entirely volunteer staff, dedicated to literature and art and the internet (well, more like literature and the art on the internet, but we’re fans of the medium, too).

Fee waivers available for all Black and Indigenous writers, Palestinian writers, as well as anyone for whom the Submittable fee poses a barrier.

Autistic people’s rights are being threatened. Our worth is being questioned. And suddenly, we’re facing a bizarre accusation that an autistic child will never grow up to write a poem.

This call for work seeks poetry by autistic writers that is socially-engaged, politically-charged, and geared toward raising our voices together against oppression and erasure.

We don’t care if you’re formally diagnosed or self-dx’d. Just as long as you identify as autistic.

I swipe across your scalp & perch on its dandruff—

it snows mid-August & I feel so super special 

without my seasonal depression. 
Had such small wavelength, no true imagination. "

Self Portrait as Tinder, Canoe

The patent fear upon which we let rest our biases
creeps upon us like a network of knowing cells.
A drop of Pom spreads throughout a white shirt
in the wash, forces slipping red beads all along…
