Eckleburg was founded in 2010 as an online and print literary and arts journal. We take our title from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and include the full archives of our predecessor Moon Milk Review. Our aesthetic is eclectic, literary mainstream to experimental. We appreciate fusion forms including magical realist, surrealist, meta- realist and realist works with an offbeat spin. We value character-focused storytelling and language and welcome both edge and mainstream with punch aesthetics. We like humor that explores the gritty realities of world and human experiences. Our issues include original content from both emerging and established writers, poets, artists and comedians such as authors, Roxane Gay, Rick Moody, Cris Mazza, Steve Almond, Stephen Dixon, poets, Moira Egan and David Wagoner and actor/comedian, Zach Galifianakis.

  1. empty space
    desert place
    I remember this place
    funny enough
    I remember every detail of you
    the flayed sound
    lapping in your arms with care like dead skin
    an unsuccessful song;
    You go to ocean
    is this a burial, for the orchestra?
    so obvious
    so true
    just like Time
    and all its hidden qualities
    A beautiful woman
    hides her face
    by being
    this is the end of an orchestra.
