A publication of experimental poetry, prose, and visual art
In a world where experimental art isn't always appreciated, Literary Undoings exists as a way to appreciate the breadth of experimentation and counterculture that exists in art!We think of experimental art as art that doesn't fit a given boundary or norm. For example, we're unlikely to publish poetry that's fully in the left margins, unless there is another experimental aspect to it.We accept all artists, writers, and creatives who aren't afraid to be a little fun with their work, because art is all about that!
