Mizna is thrilled to announce that our literary journal has won a FIRECRACKER AWARD from the Community of Literary Magazines and Presses (CLMP)! This award is given annually to celebrate books and magazines that make a significant contribution to our literary culture and the publishers that strive to introduce important voices to readers far and wide.
Since our organization’s founding in 1999, Mizna has published 38 issues of Mizna: Prose, Poetry, and Art Exploring Arab America, presenting more than 350 authors and 32 visual artists, offering an intentional space to reflect the expansiveness of our community and to foster exchange, examine ideas, and engage audiences in meaningful art. We are so pleased to have the critical work we have done for and with our community celebrated on this scale.
