Editorial Focus

Each issue of Menagerie Magazine is a curated exhibit of poems, fictions, and hybrid works that deserve the close attention of a small stage. Like a Joseph Cornell shadow box, the editors bring together a mixture of things found and made, memories and discoveries, outcast and beloved. Hybrid and uncategorizable pieces are of interest, as are the unwieldy, the absurd, the grotesque. In short: if you’ve written something and don't know what to call it, they want to see it. Their menagerie is unending and contains all kinds of curios.

Tips From the Editor

We’re not interested in conventional work, but in work that actively defies convention. Sample some of our past issues to get a sense of the magazine.
