dead peasant a journal of writing and arts 7

A project of Troubador Design Co.

About

dead peasant: a journal of writing and arts is a diverse publication of all things art, seeking experimental and traditional works that are unique and creative. Curated by the partners of Troubador Design Co., the name dead peasant is derived from the controversial United States legal practice of corporations registering life insurance for their employees to earn lucrative payouts when they die. We have a particular interest in pieces that challenge the status quo in new and inviting ways, and we are committed to publishing both emerging and established artists.
