Dear Readers: After 2 decades at the helm, Jonathan Farmer is stepping down as the editor of At Length. In his place, you'll find Derek Mong & @annieofisher. We're grateful to Jonathan for entrusting us with the journal and for his decades of work. atlengthmag.com 1/2

In the meantime, swing on over to atlengthmag.com to read 20 years of long poems, art criticism, novel excerpts & more. We're in the midst of a site redesign--expect more translations!--so stay tuned. 2/2

Today we would like to highlight David M. De León’s poem, “The Cats of Old San Juan.” An equally enlightening and powerful piece, it is just as quick and intelligent. Check it out at the following link: atlengthmag.com/poetry/the-cat…

Happy Friday! Today we highlight Tayler Heuston’s short fiction piece, “Ghost in the Graveyard.” We enjoy this story’s captivating premise, and its ability to keep the reader guessing as to what will happen next. Be sure to read at the following link: atlengthmag.com/prose/ghost-in…

We just sent out our first acceptance note for At Length, a solicited poem, and we can't wait to share it with readers. Coming to a search engine near you.

We're thrilled to announce the reboot of atlengthmag.com, under new editors Derek Mong & Anne Fisher, with new long poems by Joanna Klink and @PaisleyRekdal, and an essay on Bishop by former EIC Jonathan Farmer! atlengthmag.com

At Length is a literary journal for long-form writing--including translation! Take a peek at our 20-year archive, free and searchable online. atlengthmag.com

We're grateful to Jonathan Farmer for trusting us with At Length and Carson Wirtz, our one-time summer intern (Wabash College) and now Managing Editor for getting to this moment! atlengthmag.com

Oh, and we're open to submissions during the summer of 2024. If that's your jam, swing on over to our Submission Guidelines. Thanks! atlengthmag.com/submissions/

At Length would like to announce the addition of a Fiction Editor, Preeta Samarasan, author of Evening Is the Whole Day and Tale of the Dreamer's Son. We're so grateful to have Preeta aboard! preetasamarasan.com

“[H]ow do they bear this heat Who / knows who can say what will change,” Joanna Klink writes in "Sarracenia," as she explores our climate crisis and her relationship with her father in language that is colloquial & catastrophic, meditative & urgent. atlengthmag.com/poetry/sarrace…

As we enter the summer internship season, I'm reminded of how essential Carson Wirtz, At Length's intern, was to rebooting the journal. Thanks, Wabash College, for supporting Carson, who's now a Managing Editor at a national literary journal!

One of the delights (and challenges) in redesigning At Length was preserving the journal's 20-year archive of exceptional writing. Take Page Hill Starzinger's lovely poem, "Gest," which explores her parents' decline in a mixture of long and short lines. atlengthmag.com/poetry/gest/

We were thrilled when Jonathan Farmer, the former EIC of At Length, sent us this essay on Elizabeth Bishop. Erudite and smartly argued--but not beholden to usual strictures of peer review--it's a model of the kind of criticism we'd like to publish. atlengthmag.com/poetry/everyth…

Did you know that Terrance Hayes drew pictures while writing American Sonnets for My Past and Future Assassins, a haunting collection of 70 poems written in the wake of the 2016 election? We're happy to feature them in our new From the Archives section. atlengthmag.com/art/two-visual…

Dear Writers: At Length has updated its submissions guidelines in Fiction. We do not accept genre fiction of young adult fiction and have clarified this on our new website. Thank you.

"[W]hat am I to do / about beauty, about / my fear that beauty // has made me arrange / every experience in a word / and image too neatly // for them to bear / much semblance to life," @PaisleyRekdal writes in her wonderful long poem, "Whistlejacket." atlengthmag.com/poetry/whistle…

Friends & Readers: are any of you proficient in WordPress web design? At Length could occasionally use the careful attention of a pro! Please message us if interested! Thanks.
