about NEW

NEW is to learn, explore and not repeat too much of the form Irregular Literary Poetry Avant Garde Art Magazine. The burden of our history and cultures can be carried around lightly or with great struggle and suffering, depending on how each of us relates to gravity and the friction produced by Social Agreement. As Philip Whalen wrote almost forty years ago (29 August 1969): I seriously doubt that we need ANOTHER magazine. Yet we do need to spread the news.

NEW speaks to people active in all forms of expression. Our annual publication contains work adapted to print: written and visual — printed, bound, delivered. Our website connects and delivers forms of expression better suited to online presentation — inter­active, multimedia, mutable. We publish work in the original language of our contributors. Where possible, we translate into English, a common language in the world today.

Our areas of concern are the convergence and intersections of expression and experience. We publish contemporary work that demonstrates the urgent human need to make sense of the network of cultures we find in the present, our understandings of the past and our imaginings of the future.

We are based in Paris, France, a very interesting part of the world.
