Silk Road Review
a literary crossroads
What We Are About

Twice a year Silk Road publishes finely crafted fiction, essays,
poetry and translations that give readers a vivid point of
exchange, 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
drawer 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.
