Binghamton University's Student-Led Literary Magazine

In 2001, the first issue of Harpur Palate was published by PhD students in the Creative Writing program of Binghamton University, with the support of faculty advisors, the English Department, Harpur College,  and the help of undergraduate readers. Since then, the magazine has ranged as widely as the tastes of the graduate students who have edited it, made the change from print to online, and has established itself as a learning lab for PhD student editors to mentor undergraduate students who are interested in publishing. 

What's New

Former poetry editor Cole Depuy curates a special issue of Harpur Palate that imagines a future where crisis turns to utopia. This issue is hybrid and ekphrastic, with both visual artists and writers responding to this call, and to each others’ work. 

This issue celebrates winners of the Harpur Palate Creative Nonfiction Award and of the 2022 Milton Kessler Memorial Prize in Poetry, as well as stellar contributions in all the genres. 

Featuring winners in all three of our contests, this issue is full of standout pieces. Cover image: “La Derive” by Dréa.
