about Luna Luna
Luna Luna is a literary journal devoted to lush poetics, fever dreams, and the dark ecstatic. We are the space between light & dark.
As of summer 2025, we have returned from a very long hiatus. We publish poetry and poetry book reviews (see guidelines here). We are edited by Lisa Marie Basile.
We co-host a quarterly, NYC-based literary reading series called Weird Girls x Luna Luna, as well as The Dark Hour, an hour-long online sanctum in which we simply write together.
Our history
Luna Luna was started in 2013 by Lisa Marie Basile. It originally divided the site up into 2 aspects: the luminous and the shadow. It was shepherded into this world by many devoted editors and writers. It always published literature, but it also explored art, the occult, and culture. Today, Luna Luna is a home for poetics, yet it maintains many of the same themes.
