The Yale Review

A physically tiny, adorable magazine that has nice short pieces (objects) that are all delight no snark, beautiful criticism about all sorts of artistic mediums, not just text, and really good thematic curation across a physical issue. Just a lovely thing to stuff in a jacket pocket or in a bag to read in transit, waiting in line, anywhere. It’s quarterly and always comes first in the mail relative to my other print mag subscriptions.

Their website is not paywalled and the editor gives a great interview here https://www.nybooks.com/online/2025/02/25/the-glitzy-bits-meghan-orourke/
