Forma Journal

Classical Thought for Contemporary Culture

FORMA contemplates ancient ideas for contemporary people. We celebrate and engage with the tradition handed down to us by exploring our classical heritage, The Great Books, and eternal truths, and consider what they offer to the modern world. You are invited to join us in this contemplation free of charge!

Our beautiful print magazine is released annually. We use only high-quality paper stock and the magazine is full-color with plenty of beautiful photographs and illustrations to go along with essays, reviews, and interviews you won’t find anywhere else.

FORMA Review

The FORMA Review, now open for submissions, seeks to shed light on classic texts. Unlike most journals, we review not only the newest books but the most influential books.

FORMA contemplates ancient ideas for contemporary people. We are a community of classical educators and thinkers who seek to better understand the Great Books and their influence on contemporary literature and the arts.

The FORMA Review, now open for submissions, seeks to shed light on classic texts. Unlike most journals, we review not only the newest books but the most influential books. Today, many of the Great Books have been sidelined, forgotten, or passed over for more “relevant” texts. We hope to return the classic works of the past to the forefront by sharing new reviews of old books.

We also believe excellence and beauty incite imitation, so we look for the influence of the Classics on modern texts and invite reviews of contemporary works that note this influence on both form and content.

While the content of these book reviews may seem unexpected, the form does not; submitted book reviews should follow the standard form of the book review: summarizing the existing conversation on the topic, noting how the book enters into that conversation, analyzing the content, and assessing the success of the author (summary should only be done to the extent that it enables these four). Submissions should be between 1,000-2,000 words.

Please submit your review and a short bio to formamag@circeinstitute.com. There is no deadline for submission. If published by FORMA, all publications are the property of CiRCE Inst.
