Literary Magazines

From odd nonfiction shorts to more traditional stories, we are committed to publishing solid work. Regardless of style, at Bayou Magazine we are forever interested basic in a well told tale. Our poetry and prose are filled with memorable characters observing their earth, acknowledging both the mundane and the sublime, often at once and every time with an eye toward beauty.

Each issue of Bayou Magazine is packed with a range of material from established, award winning authors as well as fresh voices on the rise. Recent contributors include Virgil Suarez, Marilyn Hacker, Sean Beaudoin, Tom Whalen, Mark Doty, Philip Cioffari, Lyn Lifshin, Timothy Liu and Gaylord Brewer. And in single issue each year, Bayou Magazine features the winner of the annual Tennessee Williams, New Orleans Literary Festival One Act Play Competition.

Bayou Magazine is produced through the collaborative effort of the students and faculty of the MFA in Creative Writing Program on The University of New Orleans.
