A kaleidoscope of creativity…unsentimental and sometimes unpredictable.
The Best of the Bellevue Literary Review
Bellevue Literary Review is widely recognized as a rare forum for emerging and celebrated writers—among them Julia Alvarez, Raphael Campo, Rick Moody, and Abraham Verghese—on issues of health and healing. Gathered here are poignant and prizewinning stories, essays, and poems, the voices of patients and those who care for them, which form the journal’s remarkable dialogue on “humanity and the human experience.”

A high quality magazine…one of the few journals that celebrate the creative results of incorporating writing into the practice of medicine.

The nation’s most venerable public hospital and physician training ground has turned to literature to help its doctors better understand their patients, and themselves.

Part of a national trend in medical education for schools to use literature to teach doctors how to write better and clearer case histories and to emphasize more with patients.
