About
Thirteen Bridges Review is the professional literary arts journal produced by the Department of English and Philosophy at Auburn University at Montgomery. The journal's mission is to present original and groundbreaking literary works by new and established writers from around the world.
Thirteen Bridges began life as THAT Literary Review, a passion project for our former colleague William Blake Gerard (1960-2020). We will always be grateful to Blake for his vision and dedication to this journal.
