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 50th edition of the magazine, and 2026 is our 14th year as a nonprofit literary arts organization.

Vol. 14, 1: Spring, 2026, Issue 50 - The Special Fashion Issue

The special Fashion Issue of Catamaran explores from a literary perspective the meaning of things we wear. As a whole this issue teaches us how personal fashion is, how it really is a creative expression of self and emotion, and how what we wear makes an artistic statement. The issue also explores how fashion lingers, and how fashion can have historical significance.
