“With twenty-six issues appearing between June 2018 and September 2025, swifts & s l o w s brought together poets, photographers, painters, graphic artists, musicians, prose writers, mail artists, video and sound artists, collagists, and artists working in other, less easily categorized fields. From its inception, the quarterly embraced and helped foster a global community of contributors from across North America; Northern, Southern and Eastern Europe; Ireland and England; the Balkans; Scandinavia; Lithuania; Ukraine; Russia; Iran; India; China; Japan; Korea; Africa, and Singapore. Over the years, swifts & slows underwent gradual shifts of focus, while still retaining its emphasis on an openness to all forms of expression.”
