From the editor

Dappled Things is a Catholic literary magazine, and this raises the question of what Catholic literature is in the first place. Rather than give you a pat answer, we invite you as a contributor to help us explore that question. You should, however, keep in mind the following: Catholicism has a profoundly rich history; we tend to favor pieces that seriously engage and are informed by those riches. At the same time, we seek work that does not simply put old wine into new wine skins. Rather, we encourage innovation that is in conversation with the riches of Christianity?s tradition in art, thought, and practice; We cherish wit, but have little patience for pretentiousness, cynicism, or sneering. We expect that, at their core, pieces published in the magazine will grow out of a love and understanding of the cardinal virtues of wisdom, justice, temperance, and fortitude; the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love; and the redemptive theme that transpires from the Nicene Creed. At the same time, we value work that is truthful through and through, meaning that it explores reality honestly and unflinchingly, without whitewashing or sugarcoating. To unveil the truth about the beauty and goodness of the world, one must not hide the facts of the Fall; Pieces need not be overtly religious to be eligible for publication. Remember that Catholic means universal; Whatever else your piece succeeds in doing, quality of craftsmanship is a sine qua non.

From the site: In 2007 we began producing a print edition that features essays, fiction, poetry, reviews, and more, plus iconic images from guest artists. Today we offer print, digital, and combination subscriptions so we can meet you with truth, beauty, and goodness wherever you are. Our blog, Deep Down Things, expands and extends the conversation.
