The Tonic is a forthcoming literary journal affiliated with Lesley University's MFA Program that seeks to publish a wide range of provocative, innovative, and experimental prose, poetry, and text-based art. The Tonic is committed to providing a platform for publication for new, emerging, and established writers, especially those from historically underrepresented groups. We are devoted to engaging all kinds of readers from all walks of life in conversations around literature, creative writing, and the arts. The Tonic will launch digitally in early 2023.
