In describing their publication, the editors have stated, "We are interested in pieces that evoke, but don't explain, reveal, but don't represent. We seek pieces that embody an experience through flickers, fragments, and failed recollections."

A print arm of the magazine, Love Symbol Press, was founded in January 2012. Their first book, M Kitchell's Variations on the Sun, would be released on July 15, 2012. Forthcoming releases include Why God Why by Matt Rowan and Starfish Over Oyster'' by Heather Palmer.
