Our Mission
The Parliament aims to be a place for those who share a love of writing in all genres to gather, discuss, and inspire one another. Building its nest in Highland Park, New Jersey, the journal is a proud member of the Community of Literary Magazines and Presses (CLMP).
We have been honored to nominate contributors for the Pushcart Prize, and we remain committed to showcasing work that resonates with emotional depth and intellectual curiosity.
