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 24th, 2021: We have recently closed submissions for our 11th issue, REDIRECTIONS. Thank you to all who contributed. We are working on putting the issue together, and hope to publish by the end of autumn.

Thanks to all of our writers and artists, and for everyone’s patience while we put together this behemoth.
