Three Panels Press

About

Three Panels Press is a vibrant literary magazine that carves a unique niche at the intersection of art history and ekphrastic poetry. Our publication is a celebration of creativity, offering a platform where the visual and the verbal coexist and converse. By focusing on the rich dialogue between art and literature, we aim to foster a deeper appreciation of both forms.
At Three Panels Press, we invite submissions of poetry, prose, photography and art that engage with our core themes. Whether through the written word or visual imagery, contributors are encouraged to explore the evocative power of art and its capacity to inspire narrative and reflection. Our magazine seeks works that not only respond to art but also illuminate its historical and cultural contexts, providing readers with a multifaceted experience.
We are committed to showcasing diverse voices and perspectives, understanding that every piece of art and literature brings its own story and significance. Three Panels Press is not just a magazine but a community where artists and writers can share their visions and where readers can discover new connections between different artistic expressions. Join us in this journey of exploring the dynamic relationship between art and literature.
