From the 1940s jazz slang, 'square' or conventional, Unsquared Lit is a magazine focused on publishing daring voices. Like the Beat attitude of exploration, each issue’s microcosm is shaped by varying guests, themes, and forms.

We are that person at a party’s corner. Observant, ever-seeking. Quiet yet present.  

Your guts? They’re safe with us.
