Apus is an independent literary magazine and writers' community with a globally based team and roots in the Bay Area, California. It features bilingual diasporic artwork and writing in Chinese and English. The annual print and digital publication welcomes poetry, fiction, nonfiction, essays, visual arts, and creative works that blend genres. Through thoughtfully curated themes and details, Apus provides emerging writers and artists with opportunities to gain experience and exposure while exploring the ideas that shape our present moment.
The inaugural issue of Apus drifts gently into the world like a petal on a restless current—fleeting, luminous, and quietly defiant against the pull of time. This is a journal born of stillness and movement, rooted in solitude yet reaching toward the vast and unknowable.
In these pages, you’ll find fiction and poetry from voices across the globe: from the silent corridors of Kyoto and the distant river of Cà Lệnh to sunlit corners of California and bustling cities in China. Each piece is a vessel: of longing, of memory, of a moment caught between vanishing and becoming.
As a literary magazine, Apus雨燕 resists the rush of commodified narratives. Instead, it lingers. It listens. It asks what it means to be human in a universe where nothing holds still, where the only promise is transformation. The writing here does not seek permanence—it seeks resonance. A flicker of something true in the reader’s own unfolding.
We invite you to pause with us. To turn the page. To let these voices ripple through your own river of time. And if they leave behind even the faintest shimmer—then Apus has done what it came to do.
