From award-winning authors and artists to playwrights, poets, essayists, editors, and creative writing directors, these contributors bring a wealth of creative depth to every page.
Inside, you'll find a range of provocative and emotionally resonant stories: a drug-dazed dream of a soldier and his volatile, murderous companion; a love-struck graduate student on a quixotic quest to win back his high-maintenance ex; a woman self-appointed as the "Minister of Loneliness," trapped under a dystopian ban and longing for her pastry-filled past; and a newlywed who uncovers a shocking secret about her husband’s international escapades while she lays recovering in a hospital bed.
The Spring 2025 West Coast Review Number 1 is a stunning mosaic of voices—unafraid to be daring, tender, political, surreal, or deeply human. Just $15.95, It’s a must-read for fans of contemporary fiction and literary experimentation.
