About
Bear Review is a reader’s stash of literary magazines in a hollow trunk in the woods.
​
Or, Bear Review is a journal in which readers wake to strange yet welcoming animal sounds outside their vestibules.
​
Or, Bear Review is a journal in which readers tend a seed bed for books.
​
And, Bear Review keeps a reader’s quiet fires stoked throughout the coldest nights.
