The Drift is a magazine of culture, literature, and politics. Founded in June 2020, The Drift aims to introduce new work and ideas by young writers who don’t feel hemmed in by the boundaries of the existing discourse. Their issues, published three times a year, feature long form essays and cultural criticism, short fiction, poetry, interviews, dispatches, and extremely abbreviated reviews. Drift pieces have been selected for The Best American Short Stories anthology, The Best American Science and Nature Writing anthology, and the O. Henry Prize, and their contributors have been finalists for the National Book Award.
We are honored to support writers contributing to the upcoming Summer issue of The Drift!
