Afterbodies
an international literary magazine
Afterbodies publishes biannual issues of high school and undergraduate poetry and prose. At Afterbodies, we seek voices which do not shy away from the depths, stories that dare to resurface the unseen.
Guiding Currents
Innovation
We do not separate issues by genre, as we seek to move beyond Western literary norms through submersion and subversion.
Accessibility
Our magazine is and will always be completely free to submit to and free to read, ensuring that the costs never blockades a vital voice.
Inclusion
We champion work which resists the riptide of systemic exclusion, aiming to highlight the diverse identities and histories that define our many homelands.
