About
Like the kraken from the sea, The Kraken's Spire is a bilingual online literary magazine for emerging artists.​
​
The Kraken's Spire is dedicated to new and emerging artists of all forms. The Kraken's Spire is founded on the principles of inclusivity and diversity, and we seek to publish the marginalized, the downtrodden, and the unpublished. We accept poetry, prose, and visual art—in either English or Spanish—and we’re particularly interested in the themes of emergence, self-discovery, and self-reflection.
