Cutleaf, a literary journal produced by EastOver Press, has been celebrated by the literary community online since its inception in 2020. We know that some readers prefer a screen and some prefer paper, so every year we publish a print anthology of the work previously published online for our paper-loving readers. We hope these two versions can bring the widest possible audience to the work written by the talented contributors of Cutleaf.

Perfect for college and graduate classrooms and readers who prefer print editions, this collection exemplifies the best work of contemporary writers, giving readers a chance to sample a broad variety of approaches to fiction, nonfiction, and poetry in current literature.
