Our Mission
Arkana seeks and fosters a sense of shared wonder by publishing inclusive art that asks questions, explores mystery, and works to make visible the marginalized, the overlooked, and those whose voices have been silenced.
Who are We
Arkana is the graduate-run literary journal of the University of Central Arkansas. This online literary magazine launched its inaugural issue in November 2016. Our publication is staffed and edited by students in the Arkansas Writers’ MFA Program and accepts submissions from artists worldwide.
As part of an overlooked and often misunderstood region of the US, we’re drawn to an inclusive literary tradition that extends beyond our rich southern landscape. We strive to create a space that brings together diverse voices and champions stories that embody our mission.
We hope you find inspiration in these stories, poems, and essays. This is a place where every voice is part of a greater connected whole. Join our Arkana community–we can’t wait to read your work.
