Ark Review was founded in 2023 as a literary magazine to spread creative perspectives on ecological justice. We are an offshoot of the environmental nonprofit Everything Starts Small, or ESS.
We publish environmental fiction and poetry online.
Ark Review is named after the biblical story of Noah's Ark. In the story, Noah is called to construct the ark, a vessel large enough to hold two of each animal through the flooding of the Earth. As we combat our own rising tide, we hope this publication can be the vessel that offers the hope to carry us through the storm of our environmental impact.
We want good stories. More than that, we want unique stories that tell us something new about our relationship with the environment, i.e not a bunch of stereotypical dystopias. We value optimism and innovative ideas. This could be through absurdism, cultural identity, and more. We want stories to be bold and unapologetic. Be concise: throw the majority of your adverbs in the trash. The recycling bin, I mean.
Most importantly, the environment or an environmental topic should play a central role in your piece.
We want previously unpublished pieces. We appreciate mature themes, but do not want excessive use of cursing, gore, or explicit content. We will not promote hatred toward any identity group.
