Conjunctions

Conjunctions is a biannual American literary journal founded in 1981 by Bradford Morrow, who continues to edit the journal. In 1991, Bard College became the journal's publisher and remained so until July 2026, when Morrow once again took over publishing responsibilities by establishing The Conjunctions Foundation Inc of which he is the president. Morrow received the PEN/Nora Magid Award for Magazine Editing in 2007. Conjunctions has been the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including the Whiting Foundation Prize for Literary Magazines, and work from its pages is frequently honored with prizes such as the Pushcart Prize, the O. Henry Award, and the PEN/Robert J. Dau Short Story Prize for Emerging Writers. The journal publishes innovative fiction, poetry, criticism, drama, art and interviews by both emerging and established writers.
