About

If you’re reading this, you’re probably wondering what this is. It’s a literary magazine, short and simple, why does it exist? That deserves a longer explanation. It all started with Wine and Whiskey, the magazine’s founders. Lovers of the classical and aesthetic. They felt an appreciation for not only the old forms but also for literature in general in the modern era was lacking and wished to help curate more for the world. Dreamers with a passion and rebels with a cause. Together, they made their ambitions a home: The Aesthete.
