For fans of literature and creative non-fiction, Witness is a literary magazine that "blends the features of a literary and an issue-oriented magazine to highlight the role of the modern writer as witness to his or her times." Readers of Witness may explore poetry, fiction, and nonfiction essays. The most recent online issue of the magazine features five short stories, the work of six poets, and an essay by writer Cynthia Lim about deciding to revisit, as an adult, the loss of her father and grandfather in a plane crash over Lake Tahoe when she was seven years old. Witness has been published since 1987 and is currently published out of the Black Mountain Institute at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Readers can browse archived material by issue or by genre (Fiction, Nonfiction, Poetry, and Photography). At the time of this writing, archived material dates back to 2009; the website indicates, however, that earlier work will be added to the magazine's webpage soon.
