About
X-R-A-Y Literary Magazine’s vision is to publish cutting-edge, smart, uncomfortable, entertaining, unforgettable prose that shines brighter than the skeleton in your body. We believe that the great aim of literature is to give the reader more complex and penetrating eyes. We want prose that sees through skin and reveals something deeper.
