Welcome

Welcome to Amsterdam Quarterly’s original website. AQ was founded in April 2011 and its goal is to publish, promote, and comment on writing and art in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and the world. We hope you enjoy reading the work selected for this thirty-first issue (AQ31) and we look forward to your comments at editor@amsterdamquarterly.org or submissions at submissions@amsterdamquarterly.org.

AQ31’s theme is The Classics. Its work explores the world of classical Greek, Roman, and Biblical myth, history and literature, including poetry and essays about the rich pantheon of gods and goddesses, angels, kings, heroes, and prophets, as well as some ancient and medieval writers and architects. AQ32’s theme is The Future (reading period July 2021). Submit work based on your predictions about climate, education, exploration, food, health care, housing, transportation, etc., over the next months, years, decades, centuries, or millennia. Work about science fact and/or science fiction is welcome, especially in fiction and art.
