Hecate Magazine literary and poetry journal

a violent world demands a violent birth

An anthology that simmers with suffering, shame, loss, strife and yet, unparalleled strength – all that makes us human in an increasingly inhumane world. A body of work that houses the inhospitable.

Poetry Undressed

Poetry Undressed are a beautiful non-elitist poetry magazine who will also soon be in print.
