About

Damfino exists to defy neat labels, narrow definitions and the tyranny of middle ground. We showcase poetry, essays, reviews & odd bits of language from a diverse and eclectic pool of artists who combine the unexpected with joy in well-crafted language. We don’t care what descriptors get attached to your name or your writing as long as your work is, in our highly subjective opinions, good. Exciting. Head-top-removing. Expressing the inexpressible or illuminating the ordinary with a rare and textured light.
