About

Petrichor Machine is a literary journal, and we are looking for fantasies. We’re in love with the power that words inherently hold in their inky black letter-forms: a few strokes of a pen, the tap of a key, or even the pulse of air when expelled through lips with a curl of the tongue just so. Such simple mechanical application contains immense power. The power to emote, to move, to communicate in a world in which communication grows increasingly banal. We live out our days inundated with words, and yet stories and poems and art, in all their manifestations, challenge that banality by making us feel more deeply than we thought ourselves capable. So grab hold of that tentacle, rouse the pulses of air within you, and bring us into your word-worlds. Raise the battle cry against that which makes us disinterested or uninspired, or worst of all: indifferent.
