Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Raw Literature

  • Raw Literature is an independent satirical house and the creative umbrella behind Samsara News and Political Samsara. While our roots are deeply embedded in multilingual poetry and literature, we have evolved to cross-examine, deconstruct, and mock the status quo. We blend dark humor, political irony, and literary art to observe the collapse of our artificial reality with a laugh.

  • Samsara News is our flagship publication. It brings truth to life without the stifling weight of mainstream journalism. We don't just report the facts, we mock them. Through departments like Geopolitical Circus, Apocalyptic Technology, Market Maya, Realms of Ruin, Pop Purgatory, Sports Karma, Doomed Environment, and Wellness Wars, we deliver daily satirical news, social commentary, and editorial poetry.

  • Political Samsara is our flagship political cartoon series and illustrated coloring book collection. It reimagines world leaders and historical figures through the lens of karmic reincarnation, asking the question: What if the men who shaped history were reborn as exactly what they deserved? (Spoiler: It’s worse than you think).

  • We welcome submissions from writers, poets, and satirists of all backgrounds. If your work aligns with our mission of dark humor, social satire, emotional depth, or political irony, we want to see it.

  • Raw Literature has grown into a premier literature blog where you can read poetry, haiku, dystopian, satire, or short stories all in one place. We purposefully strip away mainstream filters to provide an independent space for visceral, raw storytelling and sharp cultural critique.
