Man Alive!

The Story of Man Alive!

From 1988 until 2008, New Mexico Men’s Wellness published a quarterly printed journal of men sharing from the heart about their experience and their lives. Times changed and production of a print publication became prohibitively expensive. Interest in reviving the journal remained high, however, and the first online edition was published in spring of 2018 and continues every quarter. In 2024, the option to receive a print edition was re-introduced. Subscribe and never miss an issue.

Man Alive! welcomes creative non-fiction and fiction: memoir, biographical sketches, stories, poems, narratives – the sharing of life’s lessons learned. Art work and photographs, illustrative or standalone, are especially welcome. As the first editor, Chuck Cocklereas, wrote in issue #2: “If we have an editorial policy it’s this: We want to know what’s happened to you, how you feel about it. We’re all trying to find ways to give more meaning and joy to our lives.”
