Horse Egg Literary

Horse Egg Literary began when Kristen and Arielle decided to combine their last brain cells into a two-horse power literary machine, which will bring creativity and life into the new-age pandemic world. The origin of Kristen and Arielle’s friendship is, shockingly, a poetry class. They were workshop mates who evolved into good pals. You may be wondering, “Why name your magazine Horse Egg Literary?” Your question is valid. On the first day of class, their teacher had a quote on the chalkboard which read, “A poem is an egg with a horse inside”, written by a 3rd grader. So, they decided to put all of their horse eggs into one basket, creating Horse Egg Literary. We hope to share snippets of imagination written in the yolk of horse eggs instead of ink, should you wish to share it with us. As poets ourselves, we know how vulnerable the act of sharing one’s writing can be, to crack yourself all over the paper and not know if you’ll get a neigh of approval; but isn't that what life is all about? At Horse Egg Literary, we hope to find a scrambled stallion, a whinnying egg, a poem that is both vulnerable and dreamlike with the way it tells its story. We want to give everyone the opportunity to show us their weird words, their deepest feelings, their hatched ideas. We publish poems which prove that poetry is more than Walt Whitman tearing up lawns or Robert Frost lost in the forest. We want poems that live and breathe the air we do today, poems that dream the unimaginable and flirt with the unexpected. So what are you waiting for? We can’t wait to receive your funkiest creations, your imagination gone wild!
