"I always look forward to this large format annual with its glossy pages, beautiful artwork and photography, and well-composed and thoughtful works of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry."

                                     – Sima Rabinowitz, reviewer for newpages.com

"With a splendid cornucopia of colors and textures on the large, glossy front cover, and many gorgeous full pages of voluptuous art and photography within, The Briar Cliff Review could be a splendid coffee-table book. However, with the quality literature inside, it proves it is something more.

                                              – Anne Wolfe, reviewer for newpages.com

"To peruse this journal is an enjoyable sensory experience, and I found myself savoring the pure pleasure induced by the design as much as I savored the contents, which are substantial."

                                                             – MC, reviewer for newpages.com


"It's an honor to have my work published with such respect and in such great company."

                                                                               – Lynnell Edwards, poet

"It is absolutely gorgeous! The quality of the paper, the poems themselves and the carefully chosen art make the magazine first-class.

                                                                                    – Maria Terrone, poet

"I've never seen a journal with production values this fine. It's a great pleasure to see my poem so elegantly 'framed.'"

                                                                                     – Lance Wilcox, poet

"My work is very clearly alive. Through organic forms and abstracted patterns, I seek to create a visual vocabulary that initiates a dialogue with nature as well as my viewers. Fractal geometry, botanical studies, the garden in all its seasons and the waters of the Caribbean Sea comprise my diverse influences. Each allows me to explore the ever-shifting power of the natural environment, an enigmatic force, which in its absolute perfection perennially surpasses any human attempt to dominate and subdue nature."
