Music never fails to evoke real emotions connected to real memories, however fleeting, superficial, profound, blissful, or distressing those emotions might be.

Umbel & Panicle
"Umbel & Panicle was inspired by the love of plants and all things botanical. From seed to sapling to flower and to fruit, plants have always been a fascination for many people. Their beauty is both fragile and tough, the curl of a green tendril across a wire fence, the dandelion sprouting bravely from a crack in the concrete pavement. Their cyclical patterns are the rhythms of nature, the breathing of the Earth. When we feel stressed, we often want to ground to the earth, just like a tree sending its roots into soil. Plants, like us, have social networks too. They talk to each other and send off signals to attract or repel insects." |

The voices contain within figments of dust and deep trenches, everyday harmonies and soliloquies in the sand.

Pen and Anvil Press
"If we have an overarching mission in our work as publishers, editors and literary producers, it is to support writing worth preserving on stone with an iron pen. We want to celebrate and publish writing which is durable, compact, useful, lovely, and relevant; and we take the view that this mission does not limit us to any particular genre, language, or literary mode." |

The Charles River Journal
"CRJ is a literary miscellany. We believe earnestly in the virtue of miscellany as a mode of literary adventuring. Isaac Asimov describes the debt he felt he owed, as a reader and a writer, to the same principle, thusly: "All this incredibly miscellaneous reading, the result of lack of guidance, left its indelible mark. My interest was aroused in twenty different directions and all those interests remained." What better goal for a literary magazine than to arouse interest in myriad directions? Accordingly, we publish all sorts: poetry, fiction, and nonfiction prose, criticism, miniatures, translations, visual art, excerpts, reprints, chapbook tuck-ins, and work in other genres and formats.

Every Pigeon
"Every Pigeon publishes works which magnify the mundane. Works that find significance in everyday routine, light and layered color in the grey coat of every pigeon. We publish twice a year in June and December. We favor work that puts its face right up to the glass. Let us see the details of everyday life, the buttons and acorns found on a Tuesday afternoon, the stain on your shirt at the last staff meeting. What is underneath? What is the sum of all these small things? Only you can show us. Though we love all things pigeon, this magazine is not bird-themed. Instead, the quotidian pigeon is our symbol for all things lowly but lovely. Look close and you’ll surprise yourself." |

Elephants Never
"Have you ever heard someone say, “Elephants never forget”? Well, it’s a thing. Now you know. But it got us thinking, “What else do you suppose elephants might never do?” So we started writing about those things. And it turns out we’re pretty interested in the ways of humans, as well. Each week, we offer trunkated tales (flash fiction), rumbling rhymes (poetry and light verse), elephant art, creative nonfiction, and hybrid or other works. We began with tales introducing variations on “Elephants never…” and we’ve branched out to consider a variety of themes." |
