Guernica Magazine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guernica: a Magazine of Art and Politics is a magazine that publishes photography, poetry, and fiction from around the world, along with nonfiction, including letters from abroad, investigative pieces, interviews, profiles of artists/writers/musicians or political figures, opinion pieces on international affairs and U.S. domestic politics and foreign policy
Guernica 's stated mission is to publish works that explore "the crossroads between art and politics." According to Publishers Weekly, Guernica was founded by former M.F.A. students Joel Whitney and Michael Archer, who originally planned an online-only magazine. The editors met during a teaching program in Costa Rica, and have a mutual passion for serious journalism, international literature, and poetry. According to the article, the magazine is read in over 100 countries and that, overall, tens of thousands view the site every month. In 2008, the nonprofit magazine will also appear in print.
Guernica is a 2008 participant in PEN World Voices.
