rhizomag publishes work that moves through liminal terrain—the shifting landscapes of place, memory, and inner life. We are drawn to the overlooked and the intimate: the backyard that still remembers, the street corner where something once happened, the emotional and psychic geographies we carry with us.

Inspired by principles of reciprocity, endurance, and interconnectedness, the journal cultivates a literary community where stories are allowed to be porous and in motion. We welcome work that holds both the sheltered and the exposed. The tender, the muddy, the unruly. We want sorrow and rage alongside pleasure and joy, and writing that leans into specificity, where meaning emerges through the exact and the lived.
