From the first gunshot heard ‘round the world, born in fire, christened in blood, came Revolver Literary Magazine. we break all the rules. We bend whatever you thought before. we talk about what others fear to. We are the pith of the earth. We are the irrevocable edge of the universe. We are something you haven’t seen yet. We are pure, raw, humanness in its most vulnerable and expressive form. We boast what we think. We are confident in who we are, no matter how we are. We love what we believe. Hell, we are obsessed with what we believe. we dare push literature & art to where it’s never been, but where it yearns to go. Revolver is the home of gut, heart, and pure brutal honesty. we are human nature to the nth degree.

The eternal hourglass of existence is turned upside down again and again, and you with it, speck of dust!”
“If this thought were to gain possession of you, it would change you as you are, or perhaps crush you. The question in each and every thing, “do you want this once more and innumerable times more?” would lie upon your actions as the greatest weight. Or how well disposed would you have to become to yourself and to life to crave nothing more fervently than this ultimate eternal confirmation and seal?”
the world is round, and the place which may seem like the end may also be the beginning
Revolver is an exploration and sonic explosion of imagination.
A cozy, comfortable home for ultra humanness and revolutionary, revolting thought.

Let that bullet revolve in mid-air.
Blow our brains out.
The rainbow is a symbol of a promise, hope, inclusivity, diversity, and a new beginning. It invokes feelings of awe, inspiration, harmony. The rainbow is — an all-embracing image of love and friendship. Revolver is a rainbow of our shared human condition. We share in this experience through one broad stroke of color, reflected by light. We thus celebrate all stories coming from all humans from all different walks of life, reveling in our united radiance.
