Something Nanay never said: I know more about this country than mine: somewhere I never lied: a field hanging in the fulcrum of a river’s arm or the grove of willows crystallizing in the backyard. Someone shows me a bouquet of small, sweet white flowers that taste, I imagine, like the slight break...

The summer is a whole year long, a festival of cookouts and family reunions and chasing down ice cream trucks, running back to momma with all her change. We will see smoke and not think  of our destruction, just our fathers on their favorite grills, making sure a few of the links are just  a littl...

"Ex post" — out of the after.

It's a clipped form of "ex post facto," itself a bastardized version of the Latin for "after the fact." Here at EX/POST, though, we aren't interested in reactive action so much as perceptive thought—we want art, poetry, fiction, essays on the craft, one-act plays, and more.

Founded in 2020, EX/POST MAGAZINE is a nonprofit independent literary and arts journal. We seek to spotlight both the best art and writing the Internet can find and serve as a refuge for underrepresented voices, topics, and genres.

We want both great art and reflections on such; we want to publish work at the forefront of today’s trends, but we also want to break down the meaning of those trends to make the cutting edge of “high theory” accessible to all.
