Surging Tide

Surging Tide is a BIPOC-led experimental literary journal and nonprofit organization founded by poet Emma Miao in 2020. We are dedicated to uplifting genre-defying, unapologetic, and unforgettable art and writing. Since its inception, Surging Tide has featured or collaborated with nationally and internationally-recognized writers and artists such as Muriel Leung, Diana Khoi Nguyen, I.S. Jones, Angie Sijun Lou, Hangama Amiri, Zara Smith, Angel Ye, Erin Xi, and more. Check out our interviews column where we spotlight one genre-defying artist a week, hosting open, honest conversations about vision and craft. Stay tuned for our inaugural writing and art contest, which opens for submissions August 2022. And read our latest edition, issue six, featuring some of the most exciting work we've published to date. We nominate for Best of the Net and the Pushcart Prizes. Ready to send us your work?
