Editorial Focus

Bicoastal Review is a quarterly journal of poetry, nonfiction, interviews, reviews, and art that sparks cross-genre conversations. We welcome submissions from around the world. We have a special interest in literature, art, politics, ecology, love, the body, feminism, queer identity, and social issues. Purchase a copy of Issue 10 in print, and submit to our ekphrastic poetry contest, annual single-poem contest, or nonfiction contest: bicoastalreview.submittable.com/submit.

Tips From the Editor

Please read our past issues and submissions guidelines. Send us work that fits our themes and/or is seasonal. We especially welcome ekphrastic work that speaks to poems we have already published. No AI-generated writing/images.
