About the Magazine

Founded in 2020 | United States

We believe art is a means of exploration and understanding, a way to play, to discover, and to communicate ideas and perceptions relevant to matters of the day (and beyond the day). In New Feathers Anthology, we hope to include and encourage a variety of types of literature, giving both emerging and established writers and artists a place in which they can share ambitious literature and art. We like writing and art that takes chances, risks failure, that explores both the big and the small, the social, personal, and aesthetic, that experiments and plays with forms, that is serious about playful subjects and playful about serious subjects. Send us your work.
