Arch, v: to span, bridge. Arch Literary Journal, n: an online collection of writings that spans genres, styles, and fields; a journal that creates bridges across aesthetics, languages, and attitudes.
We seek to publish new writing that transforms the way we envision, startles us into new ways of knowing, subverts expectations, and delivers new experiences of language. We embrace multiplicity: we look to mirror and extend the diverse nature of today's most exciting literature both in the U.S. and around the world.
Arch Literary Journal is housed within the College of Arts and Sciences and is affiliated with the English Department at Washington University in St. Louis; it is generously supported by Washington University's Hurst Endowment. We publish interviews, translations, poetry, fiction, and essays.
