Founded just six years ago, Bellevue Literary Review is already widely recognized as a rare forum for emerging and celebrated writers - Julia Alvarez, Raphael Campo, Rick Moody and Abraham Verghese among them - on issues of health and healing. Gathered here are poignant and prize-winning stories, essays, and poems, the voices of patients and those who care for them that form the journal's remarkable dialogue on ''humanity and the human experience.''.
