Our Mission

Twice a year Silk Road publishes finely crafted fiction, essays, poetry and
translations that give readers a vivid point of exchange or an interaction that
could occur only in a specific time and space. This event could be captured in
a poem or short story as well as in reportage or travel writing. It could
happen in a classroom in New Zealand or on the expanse of the African
plains.

We welcome work set in any location in the world including the U.S. Anyone
from anywhere can enter into the conversation.

We all start somewhere, so "place" is the touchstone the magazine uses for
the pieces we publish. However, we operate with no narrow definition of that
word. The writers we feature take our readers somewhere crucial, defining
and relevant.
