Local Knowledge, a journal of art and literature published three times a year, is a magazine that brings together poets, prose writers (fiction and nonfiction) and artists to foster conversation, exploration of the creative flow, and real dialog and experience. As its name implies, Local Knowledge offers an alternative to the disconnect in the homogenized creative writing scene. Instead, the magazine proposes all knowledge is local and spreads out from the life and language of people who lead their lives not simply as artists, but as individuals struggling with the process of daily experience. Sanjay Agnihotri is the publication’s editor/publisher, Tom Haynes is its art editor and Harry Lewis serves as editorial advisor.
