Saw Palm is an eclectic literary journal that hopes to challenge its readers and strives to be a literary voice that gives life by way of words and images to the Florida landscapes that many have heard of, but know very little. Saw Palm was established in 2006 by graduate students in the MFA Program in Creative Writing at the University of South Florida. In 2008 we were able to raise funds and publish Saw Palm as a national literary journal. Each issue offers an eclectic collection of stories, essays, poems, book reviews, and visual art richly situated in the heart of Florida. Contributors featured in Saw Palm range from Nobel laureates and prizewinners to the best in up-and-coming writers—many of which first published here.
