Poetry & prose from the road! HCR is a quiet, tucked-away lit journal where any poet, artist, or storyteller can rest their feet and share their work over a crackling fire. Since 2009!

Thank you for all of the great submissions so far! And just to clarify, our David Lynch issue came out last summer and the issue we're reading for has no theme. We've been getting a ton of new David Lynch poetry, which suggest someone could run a strictly David Lynch poetry magazine and do fine 😂

Ah, description, of all the arts the least appreciated.
Well, it's just this and it's just that,
someone will point out.

And what's more metaphysical than that,
The world in its proper posture, on all fours, drinking the sweet water?
