        About Saw Palm

Our mission is to go beyond the tourist brochures and capture the unique experience of Florida lives, landscapes, and tropes through the work of artists and writers in-state and out. Established as a web journal in 2006 by John Henry Fleming and the graduate students of the Creative Writing Program at the University of South Florida, Saw Palm began publishing a print edition and taking subscriptions in 2008. Each yearly issue features both print and web editions with work unique to each. We offer a mix of stories, essays, poems, book reviews, and visual art that speaks to the diversity and uniqueness of Florida.

The verdict of NewPages.com reviewer Sima Rabinowitz is, "As long as there are journals as smart and engaging as Saw Palm, there will be at least as many readers as writers." Read the full review here.

                              Places to Stand in Florida
We are on a mission to create a literary map of the state using words instead of photos.  On our map, each pushpin marks a point where a contributor has written a short nonfiction piece about what it’s like to stand at that particular place at a particular moment in time.  Some of the Places to Stand pieces are memories.  Some are written on the spot.  Some are written as poetry.  Click on the pushpins and take a literary tour through Florida time and space!

To view our Places to Stand series, download the Google Earth plug-in for your web browser or the Google Earth app for iPad/ iPhone or Android.
