Unknown Sender:

volatile works of poetry and fiction

Unknown Sender is a biannual digital literary zine dedicated to volatile works of poetry, art, and fiction. Pieces that challenge, disorient, unsettle, or startle have a home here. We champion voices that refuse to stay quiet. If you crave gritty writing and something with a pulse, you’ve found your next fix.
