Constellations is a print literary journal based in the Cambridge/Boston area, featuring poetry and short fiction. We seek writing that is fresh and resonant, and look forward to reading work from our local literary community as well as elsewhere.

UPDATE September 11th, 2025: Our open submission period has come to an end for Constellations vol. 15, with its theme of INVISIBILITY. Thank you to all who submitted pieces for consideration. We’ll make final decisions on what pieces will be included over the course of the next few weeks, and the issue will go to press in late fall.
