"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

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.

What Are You Waiting For?

Sweet hopes to launch the inaugural issue in September 2008. We await your submissions.

Editors' note: Please remember to eat chocolate everyday.
