Talon Review

Talon Review is an online literary and arts journal that publishes poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and visual art on a rolling basis. Founded with an ethos of sharp, unflinching inquiry, the journal takes its name from the talon—a tool for grasping, tearing, and holding fast—and applies that sensibility to work that risks emotional and formal precision. Its core mission is to provide a platform for emerging and established voices whose work demonstrates a keen eye for detail and a willingness to unsettle easy resolutions. Operating remotely, Talon Review curates each issue with an emphasis on craft and intellectual rigor, favoring writing that is as attentive to the texture of language as it is to the complexities of human experience.
