Treehouse

We are excited to present the first issue of Treehouse, an online magazine for writing that is short enough to read on a coffee break, but good enough to linger over. Treehouse is still open for submissions, and new writing will be added to this issue on a rolling basis. Return each week to find more!

Mary Ruefle wrote these lines in her poem “White Buttons”:

I like to read in tree houses
whenever I can    which is seldom
and sometimes never.

      – published in Poetry magazine, September 2011

We agree that tree houses are great, if rare, places to read good literature. Though we can’t build one for every reader, we offer our magazine hoping that you’ll enjoy it with a similar sense of adventure, surprise, and heightened perspective.
