About The Wanderer
The Wanderer was launched in April 2016 as the weekly poetry feature of Harlot Magazine. When Harlot shifted to a monthly e-zine format, The Wanderer also changed courses, splitting off onto its own unique website but with the same mission as before: Printing stellar work by incredible poets, and paying for the privilege of doing so. We believe in publishing poetry that is immediate and forever, poetry that serves as an intersection of time, place, and the poet who observes it. We also believe in poetry as a public good that can be funded by the public that reads it.
