Selected Memories, Vol. 2: 15 Years of Creative Nonfiction from Hippocampus Magazine

$20.00

Celebrating 15 years of creative nonfiction. Commemorating a milestone moment. 

In 2026, Hippocampus Magazine celebrated 15 years of publishing creative nonfiction. Since our first issue, we’ve been proud to amplify so many voices, so many truths. These scores of writers — and hundreds of personal essays and flash pieces — have captured the hearts of readers and garnered attention throughout the literary world and beyond. Many of our past contributors are now published memoirists, essayists, and novelists. Others lead literary magazines and organizations. We’re honored to be part of their creative journeys.


In 2016, we published Selected Memories, an anthology commemorating our first five years; we’re an online journal, but we wanted something special — tangible — to mark that milestone. Now, a decade later, comes a second print volume. This brilliant collection shines a light on some of our favorite work from the past 10 years — and features 30+ writers who explore the depths of the human experience.

ISBN: 978-0-9994299-5-2

RELEASE DATE: March 11, 2026

PRE-ORDER INFORMATION:
