DESCRIPTION
Wax Paper approaches each issue as both a literary publication and an art object, embracing a newsprint aesthetic that highlights the tangible qualities of reading. Submissions tend to be intimate, offbeat, and quietly disruptive. The journal’s hybrid sensibility brings together prose, poetry, and visual work with an eye for pieces that linger.
