About Us

Vol. 12, 2: Spring 2024, Issue 44
In our forty-fourth edition of Catamaran Literary Reader, we’re celebrating spring with a variety of new, experimental voices in writing and poetry, along with the new work of previous contributors to the magazine. Sage Marshall’s memoir, “Powder Daze,” draws us into Colorado ski culture with a unique, modern twist of self-introspection, addiction, nature, and sport. “Spring Peeper Gospel” by Frank Paino places us in the passing moments of time and nature, leaving us behind in a cycle of rebirth and death. And we have several short stories set in nature including “Gracie” by Bette Lynch Husted included in our online features. As we endure another long, cold, rainy season this spring, it will be nice to have Catamaran to cozy up with and bring us into the natural world of our beloved West Coast, enjoying the timeless pleasure of the unique creativity Catamaran offers.
