About the Magazine

Founded in 2020 | United States

FEED is a semi-weekly online lit mag of short-form literature. If long-form journals are elaborate holiday meals, FEED is a quick bite with morning coffee or a light midnight snack. FEED offers a simple provision of short but satisfying poetry, nonfiction, fiction, and genre-bending in-betweeners. FEED arose from a shared desire for consistent delivery of concise writing. As devoted but busy writers, readers, and subscribers, we’re frequently overwhelmed not only by the density of traditional long-form reads but also the sometimes-complicated means of accessing flash literature on the go. Inspired by the “newsfeed” style of the media platforms that connect us, FEED aims to be a mobile lit mag that exists in the spaces when we stop to unwind and replenish. It’s our hope to satisfy these necessary, soul-filling moments with condensed, stark poetry and brief, intimate prose made available with one-click ease. Like a deep breath before the day begins or the last screen scroll before bed, FEED celebrates compact, digestible literature that leaves us satiated—Flash: Easily, Entirely Digestible.
