Latest Issue
In its fifteenth issue, Gold Man Review continues its tradition of publishing bold, unforgettable voices that confront the raw edges of human experience.
This year’s collection moves between hospital rooms and coastlines, family kitchens and forgotten highways—each piece exploring endurance, memory, and the art of remaking a life from fracture. In “The Interpreter’s Daughter,” Elina Kumra delivers a devastating portrait of translation, grief, and the lies we tell to protect those we love. Cecilia Januszewski’s “Taxi” drives readers deep into the Alaskan wilderness, where loneliness and danger blur into myth. And in “A Tale of Two Mothers,” Kristy Webster examines inheritance, trauma, and resilience with unflinching honesty.
The poetry ranges from Merridawn Duckler’s ode to the unruly joy of books to Alexandra Bergmann’s delicate meditation on light and shadow—each poem capturing moments of wonder amid the ordinary.
Whether fiction, nonfiction, or poetry, every work in Issue 15 insists on truth—even when it unsettles. These are stories that linger, stitched into your imagination long after the last page.
