Quiddity seeks exceptional creative work from emerging and established writers around the world that encompasses the quiddity of the human experience. 

Our reading period for the special print issue, MMXX CE: 2020 in Poetry, closed in the fall of 2020.  Our next reading period will open in the second half of 2021.

Our editorial board is especially drawn to work that—regardless of genre, form, or subject matter—inheres the evocative magnitude of language and stays with us long after we finish it. 

We look forward to reading your work.

Quiddity is published by CoCoLit and produced in partnership with NPR Illinois.
