Sweet is an online literary magazine that publishes poetry, creative nonfiction, and anything that blurs the lines of those two genres. Sweet likes work that lingers in the mouth like an English toffee, work that is challenging and complex like the dark center of a tootsie pop, and work that satisfies like silky-smooth, Belgian chocolate.

"I would stand transfixed before the windows of the confectioners' shops, fascinated by the luminous sparkle of candied fruits, the cloudy lustre of jellies, the kaleidoscope inflorescence of acidulated fruitdrops -- red, green, orange, violet: I coveted the colours themselves as much as the pleasure they promised me."
-Simone de Beauvoir
Editors' note: Please remember to eat chocolate every day.
