ABOUT

Afternoon Visitor was founded in the spring of 2020 in Iowa City. We are an online biannual publication of poetry, hybrid text, visual poetry, and visual art. We’re looking for accidental visitors, harbingers, and spectres.

We’re particularly interested in giving space to trans + queer writers in every issue and presenting work from established and emerging writers. We welcome experimental work, long form poetry, and sequences.
