Publisher's Synopsis
Profane is an annual print and audio journal featuring an eclectic mix of poetry, creative non-fiction, and fiction. We record every poem and piece of prose we publish in the author's own voice.
With that in mind then, we want our name to express for readers an openness to being challenged. Of course, not every piece in our journal may epitomize the "profane," which to us represents that highest degree of confrontation. For those pieces that do locate themselves on that spectrum though, we try to publish work that doesn't just exist for shock value, but rather crosses cultural and personal boundaries with purpose, thoughtfulness, and attention always to craft. You won't see either simple, easily digestible truths or senseless irreverence in Profane.
