Unearthed is an online literary journal published by SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. Founded in 2015, Unearthed seeks to publish creative work that offers insight and attention—be it long deferred or newly cultivated—to our complex relationships with our environments.

To unearth is to get at, get out, dig up; it is to uncover and bring to notice; and it is about bringing light to something new through the pathways of searching. Unearthing is an art of attention to things long lost, to phenomenon brand new, to the unexpected and the everyday. Our contributors can interpret these elements of unearthing in many ways, and our aim as a journal is to be as inclusive as possible in celebrating the ranges of divergence and convergence in unearthing.

We are open to all forms of “making” (poetry, creative and critical nonfiction, fiction, photography, video, and artwork). While we accept submissions from established artists and writers, we are especially interested in hearing from fresh new voices. Previously unpublished writers and artists, undergraduate students, and members of our local Syracuse community are warmly welcomed to submit.

We publish twice a year (in the Spring and Fall). While we are currently closed for submissions, we will reopen in the Spring.

Unearthed is produced by an editorial team of SUNY ESF graduate and undergraduate students under the direction of faculty advisor Addie Hopes. The Fall 2024 issue — Transition and Transformation — comes to you through the efforts of: Willow B., Alex Cichoskie, Olivia Dombek, Evelyn Pae, Aubrie Methvan, Alyssa Tavarez, Zoe Weaver, and Erin Hassett (Managing Editor).
