Midnight Mind Magazine Reading

ABOUT MAGAZINE

What is Midnight Mind Magazine? It’s poetry & fiction. And non-fiction. And art. Oh, and photography. And sometimes comics. And sometimes found art. Kinda whatever works.

We launched in New York City in 1999. We re-launched in Napa Valley in 2024.

It’s for those of us who love books. And love reading. And love figuring things out. The ideas. The dreams. The “why this” and “why that” and “I’d love to ask this person that question”. It’s for us folks who ponder. It’s our friends who are curious. It’s for people who are always learning. Issues have included work by Jim Harrison, Denis Johnson, Benjamin Percy, and Napa locals.
