About Us

Established in 2023, Twin Bird Review is a biannual online literary publication for imaginative fiction, poetry, essays, art, and comics.
 
We publish work that captures our imagination and offers new perspectives on the world around us. We love the metaphorical, the speculative, the fantastical, the whimsical, and the strange. We value energy, passion, and vibrancy. We care less about perfection and more about sincerity; less about looking good and more about authenticity.
 
We view literature as a celebration – not only of goodness and beauty, but of the full range of experiences our vast and strange world has to offer.
