THE PARADOX is a annual literary magazine which seeks to highlight that creative expression is one of the only ways to reconcile consciousness & truth. We don't believe in rules or limitations of any kind when it comes to creative expression. So...go wild! We are specifically interested in poetry & prose, as well as art & photography which illuminate and explore the contradictions of consciousness.
THE PARADOX wants to be a literary oasis, dedicated to the profound belief that creative expression possesses a unique potency in reconciling the intricate relationship between consciousness and truth. In this realm, rules and boundaries dissipate, as the magazine fervently rejects the constraints of creative confinement. Embracing a post-structuralist and post-modernist ethos,
THE PARADOX liberates itself from binary thinking and the confines of structural linguistic philosophies. While acknowledging language's formidable capacity to mold, arrange, stratify, and subjectify, the magazine champions creative expression as a formidable weapon of resistance—an avenue to dismantle and subvert oppressive forces. The magazine eagerly welcomes articles, personal essays, poetry, prose, as well as art and photography that venture into the labyrinthine passages of thought, diligently shining a light on, interrogating, and navigating the intricate contradictions that dwell within consciousness itself.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
We believe in the psycho-social value of expression!
This isn't only about its sociocultural relevance but also about its personal and interpersonal therapeutic value.
In a world of contradiction, expression is a way to make sense of the senseless.
