Jackrabbit Journal

Masthead

Jackrabbit Journal is a home for the creative community of the hi-desert, focusing on queer desert dwellers and eclectic artists, produced twice a year by a group of hi-desert locals.

The hi-desert is a crucible of innovation, where authentic art flourishes and honest writing flows. Jackrabbit Journal aims to tap into the limitless depth of creative spirit that makes the hi-desert bloom.

Part of our mission is to build relationships among hi-desert artists and wordsmiths and foster the creative community that we all love.
