“At the end of the semester, I often give away literary journals to my students–I want them to know about the range of choices and part of my job is to help show them this world. But I can’t give away Post Road! I have all the issues in my office and every semester I go over the stack to try to pick one to give up and I just can’t do it. Each issue is just packed with goodness and all I can do is show my copies to my students and then protectively snatch them back!” — Aimee Bender

“I trumpet Post Road not out of kindness but out of the purely selfish pleasure I take in a frisky, alert, independent magazine whose words and images spring off the page and sometimes turn a somersault or two before they stick their landings in my brain. I also admire the magazine’s artistic promiscuity in embracing whatever’s good wherever it comes from however it works and whomever it’s by.” — Walter Kirn

“The editors’ enthusiasm is palpable; they consistently provide a lively home for writing worth reading.” — Amy Hempel
Hempel, Amy

“Post Road is the little magazine so many writers dream of when they start out, but have trouble finding when they grow up. It’s like those Paris-based publications that discovered Ezra Eliot or TS Pound or someone. But it’s not; it’s based here, it publishes fresh exciting talent, and it’s helping keep the indie lit scene alive in America.” — Darin Strauss
