The Belfast Review is a new biannual literary magazine (online and in print) and blog showcasing the best in Art, Culture, Writing, Music, & More from Northern Ireland and beyond. We want a dialogue between the arts and aim to feature short stories, plays, song lyrics, screenplays, poetry, and a range of nonfiction.
