Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
Bicoastal Review is a quarterly journal of poetry (with audio), nonfiction, interviews, photography, and art that fosters cross-genre conversations, often about—but not limited to—topics of the U.S. East Coast and West Coast. We have published writers and artists from around the world, and support emerging poets, women, LGBTQIA+ writers, and writers of historically underrepresented backgrounds. We celebrate political poetry and poetry of place. The writing we publish often addresses social issues such as environmental destruction, the impact of digital media, the nuances of immigrant histories, traumas of modern life, and the politicization of gender and sexuality. We have published sonnets, haikus, triolets, prose poems, found poems, elegies, and much more. We invite contributors to consider intertextuality and respond ekphrastically to our past publications. We also have an annual poetry contest.
