Subnivean See other projects related to this listing. About Subnivean’s editorial mission is to curate and produce bone-deep, high-caliber literary art that speaks urgently to an evermore connected international audience. We will never charge readers to access the full contents of our issues. Housed at the State University of New York at Oswego, where four times more snow falls on our city than Manhattan, we publish three issues per year: one in fall, one in spring, one in summer. Our hardworking SUNY undergraduate staff is nose-to-grindstone right now, bringing you high-caliber content amid the internet's clamoring chaos.
