Ark Review

About

Ark Review was founded in 2023 as a literary magazine to spread creative perspectives on ecological justice. We are an offshoot of the environmental nonprofit vEverything Starts Small, or ESS.
Ark Review is named after the biblical story of Noah's Ark. In the story, Noah is called to construct the ark, a vessel large enough to hold two of each animal through the flooding of the Earth. As we combat our own rising tide, we hope this publication can be the vessel that offers the hope to carry us through the storm of our environmental impact.
