Unfortunately, Literary Magazine

Hi. We are on hiatus. If you want the Emotions behind and the Reasons for said hiatus, read my (Nathalie's) post here: unfortunatelylitmag.com/2023/06/29/hia… If you just want the brass tacks, please find them in all their shiny glory in the thread below.

You know what's fun? Reading a poem aloud. I read this one aloud to my therapist and even she was like oooh. Read it (aloud) here: unfortunatelylitmag.com/2023/10/26/the…

Ever read a poem and you don't quite know what's going on but the ride is so good you don't mind? So you read it again and learn a little more? And again? Until you've totally overanalyzed it? If that's how you like to consume poetry, I present you with: unfortunatelylitmag.com/2023/10/19/thr…

If you’re look for some SFF flash in the meantime, can I interest you in my tiny futuristic robot named Tara who was published in @UnfortunatelyLM earlier this year? unfortunatelylitmag.com/2023/03/30/tar…

Everything continues to be on fire, so I'm going to read this wholesome bit of flash fiction from Laura Israel a few times. If you're in a mood, you should read it too: unfortunatelylitmag.com/2023/07/13/a-p…

We have a new poem from Hailie Cochran, "The Scary Parts." The title is innocuous, but this piece is anything but-- it examines some of the darkest parts of oneself. Hailie knows how to wield an image and writes with some serious presence. Read it here: unfortunatelylitmag.com/2023/07/06/the…

I'm so thankful for the work the team at @UnfortunatelyLM have done--I'd been shopping a poem that I adored about to no avail, but they saw what I saw in it and published it. Hiatus is self-care. Take it easy, and come back strong.

I really like the phrase "including, but not limited to."

Thank you to everyone who has helped Unfortunately, exist and thrive, including, but not limited to: @TaylorFranson @TLThompsonBooks @MSweeneyWrites @strangers_karma @DavidOfromNJ @Kat_A_Turner

It's dark out. It's quiet. It's a nice night to read. And we have a new short story from @MollySeeling7 that glows with voice and vulnerability. Read it here: unfortunatelylitmag.com/2023/06/15/to-…

We've got poems by Michael Henry! They grapple with the American obsession with guns by personifying a gun named, yes, Gun. Some favorite lines: "Gun tries to meditate too but has a hard time clearing the chambers of his mind." Read the series here: unfortunatelylitmag.com/2023/05/11/gun…

Happy #FF everyone! @bone_exposed @UnfortunatelyLM @eratolitmag @WildThymeLit @LimelightReview @WhimsicalPress

Hi, we're here with some art for your Thursday by Evan D. Williams. Who has pull with USPS to get these stamps in post offices everywhere? See the rest of his art here: unfortunatelylitmag.com/2023/05/04/tex…

We have a photo essay from Foxspit (@foxspit_ )! The composition, the color, the detail--all of it is perfection. See the rest here: unfortunatelylitmag.com/2023/04/20/bej…

We've got a new short story from @JesseMardian! It's an absurdist take on parent culture and feeling ambivalent and uncomfortable about parenthood and not knowing what the hell to do about it. Read it here: unfortunatelylitmag.com/2023/04/06/all…

@britomatic @audmonstr Turns out a plugin was being unruly. Everything should be ok now. Sorry about that!

@UnfortunatelyLM @audmonstr I was getting a ‘critical error’ message a few times too, but it clears if you refresh the page !

We have a new flash piece from Brittany Thomas (@britomatic) that answers the question: What if the singularity is wholesome? It's also a must-read for '90s dance fans everywhere. Read it here: unfortunatelylitmag.com/2023/03/30/tar…
