The Quilled Ink Review: Vol Two: PLACES
Wander beyond the familiar streets and hidden nooks—this edition of The Quilled Ink Review explores the captivating theme of PLACES! From the bustling cafés that cradle whispers of longing to forgotten landscapes that echo with history, we embrace the myriad ways places shape our thoughts, emotions, and stories.
​
Delve into the depths of nostalgia, the vibrant pulse of a city, or the unearthed magic of a solitary corner in nature, these words will transport you. Be inspired by the solace of a childhood home, the thrill of a foreign land, or the haunting beauty of an abandoned building.
​
Join us in this journey of the written word where internationally celebrated and promising emerging writers share their unique perspectives. Dip into poetry and short stories that challenge perceptions, provoke thoughts, and paint vivid images of places that resonate in the human experience.
​
Let your imagination roam with these accomplished writers—see where their enchanting words take you!
Come witness the landscapes they've created in these captivating works . . .
