“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

“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
