Welcome to Heimat Review.
Heimat means “home.” More than a house or city, heimat is the place of being, of presence and reflection. It is the moment in time when you are invited to ask “where am I” and “where should I be?”.

Heimat Review is an online journal that seeks to be a home for your prose, poetry, and art. It is a journal of treehouses and chipped coffee mugs, creaky floors and dusty corners. A place to tape your work to the kitchen fridge.

We are interested in your reflections and nostalgia, your narratives of familiarity and strangeness, the things that draw you back to where you are--and where you hope to be. 

Issues

Issue 1: Autumn 

Within Heimat’s first issue, you will find twenty seven striking pieces that work together to tell a wonderful story of reflection, of looking back and moving forward.

Issue 2: Winter

Our second issue delves into the intricate tapestry of human experience with thirty thought-provoking pieces that explore themes of loss, music, identity, and relationships.

Issue 3: Spring

Issue 3 features thirty captivating poems, short stories, and CNF essays centred around growth and change. From heart-wrenching tales to uplifting moments and lovely turns of phrase, this issue has it all.
