CrayfishMag is a new online journal & print experiment in creative writing & visual Art. We celebrate the vital exchange between our most difficult and joyful experiences — between the familiar and the strange.
On our FUTURES theme, Felicia Zamora says, “Extreme volatility overshadows the present. Social, climate and economic horrors compound daily on global, national, state, and community levels daily. Yet our species and the more-than-human world persist. We love and flourish despite.”

For our next issue, we are excited to work with several guest editors. They'll curate work complementing our general submission process. About our FUTURES theme, Isaiah says, "Reimagining the future is the all-in-one creative tool that resists against a dystopia on the rise."

What a poem by Liv! We've always admired Liv's writing and her ability to come up with incredible winding titles.

Olivia Farina (she/her) is a writer from just outside of Cleveland, OH. Her writing focuses on the body, generational trauma, and the grand spectrum of human emotions.
