Environmental Writing & Art Feature Begins!

Today we launch this fall’s special feature, highlighting environmentally themed writing and visual art across Aquifer: The Florida Review Online and our upcoming print issue 44.2. This feature serves to highlight and celebrate the establishment of our Humboldt Poetry Prize for Environmental Writing.

Twice weekly through the end of December, we will be publishing a different piece of environmental work on Aquifer; our print issue features similarly themed work, alongside our usual eclectic mix of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and graphic narrative. Please consider subscribing to our print magazine if you haven’t already, and check back here as pieces are published on Aquifer every Monday and Wednesday through the end of December.
