Dahlia Literary publishes works that deal with self-identity and how it is shaped by society, interpersonal relationships, and circumstance. Send us poems exploring difficult relationships, stories with characters torn by moral dilemmas. Question what it means to be a good person; question what constitutes a bad one. Send us your crises of faith, your hurt people who hurt people, your pieces that are still figuring themselves out.
