About Us
We publish a quarterly literary journal featuring interviews, translations, poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and fine art. Our journal is full size and full color and comes out quarterly. This is our 51st edition of the magazine, and 2026 is our 14th year as a nonprofit literary arts organization.
Vol. 14, 2: Summer, 2026, Issue 51
The Summer Issue of Catamaran invites readers on a journey of discovery, where writers and artists explore the natural world, memory, identity, and the hidden connections that shape our lives. Featuring essays, fiction, poetry, interviews, and visual art that celebrate curiosity and resilience, this issue reminds us that wonder begins with the simple act of paying attention.
