Nana’s Icebox is a literary magazine for young adults dedicated to poetry, fiction, nonfiction, photography, and artwork that endeavors to celebrate and preserve the roots of childlike wonder for Louisiana creatives.​

 

At Nana’s Icebox, we want our magazine to be just that: an icebox. A preservation device and a time capsule. A space to record the highs and lows for Louisiana creatives residing in the muck and the concrete, the towns and the parishes, the places we know and the places no one thought to check.​

 

Regardless of your background, your work deserves to be displayed at least once. Whether through the eclectic magnets on the fridge door, the grime that you can’t seem to clean out of the seals, or the mysterious jar that’s been on the top shelf for as long as you can remember (even Nana can’t recall its origins), we want to hear your story, breathe in your words, and appreciate your artistry.​

​

Midsummer evenings on a porch swing, swatting at mosquitoes. Eating homemade gumbo on the first cold day in late Autumn. A child's first Mardi Gras parade. Your nana’s collection of angels and trinkets. This is the essence of Nana’s Icebox.
