WHAT IS AUGUR MAGAZINE
In Ancient Rome, an Augur was a religious official who looked for the will of the gods in the flight patterns of birds, and who made predictions based on the stories they read there. Today, Augur is a literary magazine that makes room for writing from uncommon perspectives, and brings together the often disparate realms of literary and genre fiction.

EXPLORE AUGUR ISSUE 9.1
The stories and poems in this issue reach into the past: for stories passed down from ancestors, ancient divination practices, and landscapes that have shaped humanity for eons. They ground themselves in the past to reach into futures near and far: to synthetic gestation and robotic wildlife and faraway planets. This is an issue about finding sure footing in what has come before and looking ahead with clear eyes. It is an issue about finding the courage to keep on living amidst these ruins. It is a long path, but it starts and ends with love.
