unsaid

"Although only three issues of Unsaid have appeared thus far, the journal has already established itself as the most aesthetically distinguished and daring journal since Gordon Lish's groundbreaking The Quarterly.  In fact, Unsaid is in many ways the only true descendant of The Quarterly in its commitment to publishing only that which is entirely unfrivolous and genuinely original."

Gary Lutz, Author of Stories in the Worst Way and I Looked Alive

Welcome to Unsaid

Most likely you found us by losing your way. Good for you. One needs to become lost from time to time, especially when seeking what can only be found in one's inmost hidden room. Look around in the rooms in here. Maybe you'll find something both strange and familiar. Touch it. Smell it. Taste it. Then take what you see and take it apart. Smash it. Crush it. Then scatter the pieces. Now follow each scattered piece. You will lose your way again. And again. But keep following the scattered pieces. After some time you will see them for what they are. You will follow what is yours and you will learn to call it home.

"He needed an unlashing, and a scooping too by now, had he been an animal. He needed leaving for a while under the house until the sun got to him even under there and we began to feel the stink coming up from under the rug my mother might have beaten into cleanliness."
