The Baltimore Review, founded in 1996, is a literary journal publishing poems, fiction, and creative nonfiction. The journal’s mission is to showcase Baltimore as a literary hub of diverse writing and promote the work of emerging and established writers from the Baltimore area, from across the U.S., and beyond.
