West Marin Review
The West Marin Review is a literary and arts journal inspired by the extraordinary landscapes of West Marin County and Northern California. The Review is a collaboration of friends, neighbors, Point Reyes Books, and the Tomales Bay Library Association—a volunteer group that wishes to share our affinity for land and community. Framed by the Point Reyes National Seashore and rolling pastureland, this place has long attracted renowned artists and writers, some of whom are featured in the Review, along with those whose work appears for the first time in print. We invite you to read, reflect, and contribute!
