WILD ORCHIDS is an annual journal of affective/inspired forms in literary criticism. Our issues hope to reencounter, write close to, and trace the unlit flows of our favorite writers, in volumes centered around single authors.

WILD ORCHIDS is edited by Sean Reynolds and Robert Dewhurst, graduate students in the Poetics Program at the State University of New York at Buffalo. The journal receives funding from the English Department, the David Gray Chair of Poetry and Letters (Steve McCaffery), the James H. McNulty Chair in English and Research (Dennis Tedlock), the Poetics Program (Myung Mi Kim), the Graduate Poetics Group, the Graduate Student Association, the English Graduate Student Association, and the Poetry Collection at the University at Buffalo.
