Witness

"Witness blends the features of a literary and an issue-oriented magazine to highlight the role of the modern writer as witness to his or her times. Each issue includes fiction, poetry, memoir, and literary essays...In 2007, Witness moved from Oakland Community College to Black Mountain Institute at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The magazine now features special issue content in portfolio form and increasingly seeks out work that contextualizes the American experience by highlighting issues of global concern. Witness values the insights of authors everywhere who illuminate their circumstances in unique and startling ways, and it invites stories, poems, and literary essays that promote the modern writer as witness to his or her times."
