The Locust Review is a project of the Locust Arts & Letters Collective - a small group of artists, writers and activists - published quarterly in an anachronistic newspaper format and online. The Locust Arts & Letters Collective also publishes the theoretical journal, Imago, once a year.

Locust Review strives to give an imaginative voice to the radically weird, the critically irrealist, the dissident, the worker. It is communist. It is avant-garde. It is non-dogmatic. It is striving to be popular, but hated. It is an experiment in human creativity when the means of creation have been transformed more dramatically in the past thirty years than virtually any other time in the history of the species. It is resolute in its refusal to give up the dream of utopia even as the world looks exceedingly grim. It is a deliberate anachronism that holds a future. Perhaps not THE future, but A future; a future that redeems the past.

Locust Review offers a variety of affordable subscription options beginning at just a few dollars per month. Subscriptions are available at www.locustreview.com and on Patreon.

Before submitting material please read our Editorial, “We Demand an End to Capitalist Realism.”

Locust Review accepts submissions of poetry, short/serialized fiction, flash fiction, essays, creative non-fiction, interviews, visual art, photography and reviews all year around on a quarterly cycle.

All submissions are reviewed by the Collective in as timely a manner as possible. Review may take up to a few months. Contributors will be notified of acceptance by email.

Locust Review maintains no official word or line limits on written material. We prefer to leave it to creators to determine reasonable limits for their own work relative to the type of publication LR is.

Locust Review aims to reach a point in its development and evolution that will allow for equitable payment for accepted material to all contributors. As we work diligently to achieve that goal, we gratefully offer contributors a complimentary copy of Locust Review in which their work appears.
