Thomasonian is a literary magazine showcasing knowledge about the natural world from the minds who pay it the most attention.

 

Inspired by the writing of essayist and physician Lewis Thomas, our publication combines the literary with the scientific.

 

We want poems written by biologists and nature essays written by poets (think Annie Dillard). Educate us about a personal run-in with the creatures in your backyard, or paint us a literary picture inspired by findings from a lab. We want to know what you specialize in, profesionally or passionately. 

 ​​​​​

We're interested in pieces that leave readers a bit more familiar with how our world works. And of course, we're open to any grounded suggestions on how to save the planet, too.

 

 

We publish creative nonfiction, informal essays, poetry, and photography.​​
