POLIS LITERARY MAGAZINE
The Greek word polis means more than just a ‘dwelling place or a residence.' In ancient Greece, the polis was also the forum where citizens could realize their intellectual and creative potential.
As a community of students coming together to share our thoughts and ideas, our contemporary polis embodies the communal spirit of its namesake. As a forum for members of the community to have their voices heard and express their creativity, Polis is Villanova's student-run magazine dedicated to ideas, creativity and the arts. It features essays, short fiction, poetry, reviews, photography and artwork.
Polis Literary Magazine is a publication of Villanova University and the Villanova University Honors Program. All content is the responsibility of the student-run editorial board.
If you have any questions or comments, or are interested in getting involved with Polis in any capacity, please email the editor.
