The Periodical is a non-profit publisher and magazine dedicated to creative writing, criticism, and conversation about literature and the arts, including poetry, fiction, theatre, music, photography, film, and new media. Each issue brings together new writing and portfolios on the past, present, and future of artistic modes of expression.

Our editors and contributors are curious about how artists work, what art can do, and how it helps us understand our lives. Our inaugural print issue will be published in 2027. Please check back for further updates.
