What We're All About

Aji  is an online literary magazine publishing poetry, short fiction, essays, art, photography and graphic design. 

Aji (pronounced ah-hee) is a species of chili pepper with South American and Caribbean origins.  Just a bit—there are many varieties and types—adds warmth and flavor to food and to life. 

Likewise, Aji  hopes to spark passion for literature and art by offering previously unpublished works of established and emerging artists, work that celebrates contemporary experience and engages readers and viewers globally.

New issues are published bi-annually, every spring and fall.  

Who We Are

The Aji editorial team is an eclectic group of professionals.  We are a diverse staff including university professors, published poets, fiction writers, reviewers, and lay professionals with a strong interest in the humanities.
