About

Digging through the Fat is a call for action. What we want from literature is truth, beauty, and humanity, but artists have to dig through the fat to get to these ideals. We are a literary website committed to promoting the work of writers, poets, and publishers. Our world is bloated with distractions. Meaning has become a malleable commodity. We are Romantics and believe Art, in all its forms, is the exception. We publish innovative prose/poetry pieces.
