Intricacy: A Literary Review

About

We started Intricacy: A Literary Review because we admire writing that seeks to unravel and examine the beautiful, difficult, and messy aspects of life. Rather than neat and tidy conclusions, we prefer work that offers opportunities for reflection and inquiry, words that linger with us long after the last line. And, as voracious readers ourselves, we also wish to curate issues that entrance and challenge a wide variety of readers.
