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, 2020: Submissions for our 10th issue, focusing on material with a theme of SYNTHESIS, are now closed. Thank you to everyone who contributed work.
