About the Magazine

Founded in 2015 | United Kingdom

We were honoured when wildness was featured by Poets & Writers in their Nine New Lit Mags You Need to Read feature, mentioning that Wildness features formally inventive work by both established and emerging writers that embraces the mysteries of the self and the outside world. Also, when speaking with P&W, Eric Tran said of wildness: When I read an issue of wildness I’m prepared to be moved and surprised, bowled over by writers who are unafraid, or maybe afraid but still brave and capable, incisive and insightful.

Masthead
