Wasafiri gives particular prominence to those whose literary and historical concerns do not necessarily fit within the confining rubrics of any one particular movement, tradition, or culture. One of the UK's first publications to have provided a sustained outlet for new writing, it has contributed to the emergence of many now established voices and offers a dynamic context for dialogue and critical debate. The quarterly magazine draws widely across modern culture and the arts, publishing a lively and informed mix of fiction, poetry, interviews, essays and reviews by both well-known and rising names. As such, Wasafiri provides a unique forum for those keen to explore the geographies and contours of new and emerging literary worlds.

 

2009 marks the 25th birthday of Wasafiri. We will be celebrating this landmark anniversary with a series of live events, the holding of a New Writing Prize and a very special birthday party with luminary guests at the South Bank, London, in October.
