## About

A literary magazine of self-exploration for writers and artists of all kinds.

The Closed Eye Open is a literary magazine centered on self-exploration through creative expression. It welcomes established writers and artists as well as those from academic disciplines and newcomers to sharing their work publicly. The publication describes its work as evocative, introspective and experimental, and it is always seeking creators of all forms of art and writing. Alongside its numbered issues, it runs recurring features such as "Maya's Micros" and the "Ripples on the Pond" series.
