Marrow Magazine: The Primordial Issue

A boy abandoned in the woods loses more than his way. A girl steals plums from a neighbor and tastes the bitterness of guilt. A teenager traces the origins of her long illness and uncovers unsettling truths.

The line between the ordinary and the extraordinary blur in Marrow Magazine's surreal primordial issue. In this carefully curated collection of fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction, both established and emerging writers explore love, hope, loneliness, and loss-and reveal the wildest parts of the human experience.

Founded in 2021, Marrow is an indie literary magazine committed to publishing fabulist, feminist work that delves into dark, feminine spaces. We're interested in experimental writing that uses compelling language and imagery to remind us what it means to be human, that makes wonderful the plain and strange the ordinary.
