“Water~Stone Review has the freshness and verve of the very best literary reviews.  You get the feeling, turning the pages, that its harvesting of good writing is intelligently planned and rigorously put together.  In a very short space of time this has become a fine and necessary review.

Eavan Boland

“Water~Stone Review is one of the most elegant, substantial literary journals anywhere on the American scene. Don’t miss it. It will nourish and uplift you.”

Naomi Shihab Nye

“The impressive publication values of the beautiful magazine, Water~Stone Review, are an accurate measure of the quality of work within its pages. It’s a welcome reinforcement along the barricades of American literary culture.”
