Our Latest Issue |
Silk Road Review a literary crossroads |
The poetry, fiction and nonfiction in Vol. 4 takes us from Mt. Fuji to a porn shop to the galaxies housed within the human skeleton to a hut in Chad. This issue is all about artistry. Each piece shows what happens when written language is taken the distance: The finer the use of words, the more deeply we comprehend the locations that hold us, change us or refuse us. |
Silk Road is made possible by the generous support of Pacific University in Oregon |
"I rested one hand at the base of the horse's pulsing neck, looked into the dark-rimmed eyes. I entered her mouth, pushing past the back of the tongue and into the gullet to remove what had gathered dangerously there. My first horse closed her eyes, shuddered. Her throat seized on my wrist and her knees buckled. I tugged gently but firmly. I commanded the horse bone, the horse blood: Rescue this whole horse. Let this horse live." --Josie Sigler in "My Last Horse" |
