Publisher’s description: Silk Road has been recognized by Literary Review Magazine for its “sensory richness” and “beautiful sights and exotic sounds.”
Taking its as its thematic metaphor the ancient Silk Road, that conduit between East and West and highway of intense cultural exchange, the magazine publishes fine fiction, nonfiction, interviews, poetry, and images that capture the intensity, fluidity and tension of locations—inside us and in the world.
Writers such as Xu Xi, Pete Fromm, Claire Davis, Marvin Bell and Dinty Moore have traversed its print and online publications. Silk Road is an international conversation circling where we have been and where we are going.
In 2010, Silk Road will begin publishing its print version twice yearly and will continue expanding its online presence.
