Review Quotes

"Every issue of A Public Space juxtaposes finely wrought, carefully edited pieces, putting them in dynamic conversation with one another. An expertly assembled mix of contributors includes emerging talents as well as writers rediscovered through a kind of archival derring-do. [A Public Space] stands as a paradigm of what literary magazines can be: a gorgeously curated collection we experience as a cabinet of wonders."
