trepan cultivates mutation in forms and styles of reading and writing, discarding traditional barriers between genres and forms, seeking out unexpected openings, and creating them where necessary.

it took us awhile, but better late than even later. a literary journal like trepan demands a clean, reader-friendly layout that’s easy on the eyes. we made it highly readable with a spin on a lost-era letterpress pharmaceutical manual to make it endearing.

copies are still available at trepan.org
