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 January 2nd, 2021:

Happy New Year! We’re celebrating both the demise of 2020 (good riddance) and the pandemic-delayed release of Constellations volume 10: SYNTHESIS, featuring 212 pages of poetry, fiction, art, and photography from 72 contributors. Not only did we make it out of 2020, but we also made it into our second decade of publication. Thanks to all of our writers and artists, and for everyone’s patience while we put together this behemoth.

The issue is available from Amazon.com in the U.S. Soon to be available from Amazon.co.uk in Great Britain, Amazon.fr, Amazon.de, Amazon.es, and Amazon.it in Europe, and Amazon.co.jp in Asia. (As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.)
