We have always encouraged writing that jumped past the conventional and traditional to, as the (disgraced) bard said, “make it new.” ACM has encouraged play and rage and courageous attempts. Some history: Another Chicago Magazine began in 1977 as a publication to showcase work of University of Illinois at Chicago Circle (as it was called) graduate creative writing students.įor a long time now, ACM has believed that everything is political, and has been partial to writing that confronts injustice and inequality, though not in didactic or polemical ways. We at Another Chicago Magazine are guests here, and as such we promise to respect those whose home this place is and the land we call Chicago. In addition we acknowledge Chicago’s large urban Indigenous population, and recognize those who honor their ancestors, traditions, and this land. These communities are and continue to be the rightful stewards of this land, water, and ecology, in spite of settler colonial violence and displacement. This land is sacred to many Indigenous peoples, including the Bodwéwadmik (Potawatomi), Ojibwe, and Odawa – together forming The Council of Three Fires – as well as the Peoria, Kaskaskia, Mascouten, myaamiaki (Miami), Ho-Chunk, Kiikaapoa (Kickapoo), Sac and Fox, and Menominee peoples. We honor the peoples whose ancestral homelands were taken from them during the settling of Chicago. Keep on top of things by subscribing and following us on Facebook and Twitter. Look for a new piece of fiction, nonfiction, drama, poetry, art, or a review, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Then we decided we’d like to publish new work more frequently.
