The Nuthouse

The Nuthouse is Waldorf Literary Review's online journal. Unlike our annual print journal, we're not afraid to get a little nutty here, just like Waldorf's many squirrel companions.

Here you will get a sneak peek into the minds of the WLR staff, and enjoy exclusive online-only prose, poetry, art, photography, interviews, and more.

Starting Fall 2024 we will be updating weekly. Each weekly feature will be posted on our homepage, but check below for an archive of older work.
