About

Dukool is a Bengali-English literary and cultural magazine published monthly in the U.S. for Bengalis and thoughtful expatriates around the world. We publish out of Cincinnati, Ohio and circulate both nationally and internationally. We write about and investigate literature, cultural trends and topics, travel, and the arts. We are both fortunate and excited to have writers from over 6 countries – including some of the best Bengali writers of our day – already contributing to the magazine! And we are continuing to add to our pool of literary talent, bringing you the best writing by internationally recognized authors and new ideas by up-and-coming creative minds.
