Permafrost Magazine

Located at 64° 50′ N.,

Permafrost is the farthest north literary journal for writing and the arts. We’re proud of Permafrost’s forty years as interior Alaska’s foremost literary magazine.

 
 

 

Founded in 1977, Permafrost is housed at the University of Alaska Fairbanks English Department, and run by dedicated creative writing graduate students. We publish a winter online issue as well as a spring print issue, both of which feature compelling poetry, fiction, and literary nonfiction by established writers and new voices alike.
