Bard College's literary journal Conjunctions publishes innovative fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction by emerging voices and contemporary masters. For over three decades, Conjunctions has challenged accepted forms and styles, with equal emphasis on groundbreaking experimentation and rigorous quality. We are committed to launching and supporting the careers of unknown authors—William T. Vollmann, David Foster Wallace, and Karen Russell all had some of their very first publications in Conjunctions—while providing a space for better-known voices like Joyce Carol Oates or William H. Gass to work outside audience expectations.

With editorial offices in New York City and Annandale-on-Hudson, New York, Conjunctions is in the top three journals for the number of Pushcart Prizes received by its contributors and one of the cornerstones of contemporary literary publishing.Since 1981, this project has been a living notebook in which authors can write freely and audiences read dangerously.
