Dappled Things is a quarterly journal dedicated to publishing works of beauty steeped in Catholicism’s rich tradition in literature and the arts. We publish short stories, essays, poems, short plays, and works of visual art that take advantage of this vast treasury to enrich and engage contemporary culture. In an environment dominated by headlines and 24-hour controversies, Dappled Things is a journal dedicated to the permanent things.

Praise for Dappled Things
“Dappled Things provides an invaluable forum for young Catholic writers. It is the journal in which a new generation is discovering itself.” — Dana Gioia
“Each issue contains a royal flush in the Catholic gamble with the modern world, in its poetry, short stories, essays, criticism, and artwork. Each issue awakens the soul to meet its Maker. Each issue—for me personally—is a welcome respite from the eternal snark of the Internet.” — Marc Barnes, BadCatholic
“[An] excellent literary journal . . . with excellent essays, fiction, art and poetry.” — Amy Welborn, Open Book
