A literary magazine for young writers whose work refuses to behave.
Our mission is to publish work by young writers that feels too strange, too intense, or too experimental to fit cleanly in more conventional literary spaces. We value writing that actually breathes: work that resists neatness and is truly alive. At its core, MOUTHFUL exists to make a home for emerging voices to be heard in their full volume, not in a flattened whisper.
