The Panacea Review

About

The Panacea Review is inspired by literary ephemera: letters, postcards, diaries, emails, field notes, and the like. Such wondrous trifles emerge daily from the churn of words, but rarely make it to print. We do publish traditional stories, poems, and essays, but are especially a home for the flotsam and jetsam of writing that otherwise might never leave the drawer. The Panacea Review is not defined by a search for the best work by the day’s best writers, but rather for the odd, forgotten, and curious. A fitting role for a print journal with its flag planted in an out-of-the-way hamlet on a continent’s edge.
