The Land Bridge

  A Literary Isthmus

“A few words in my journal to mark the moment, those pages stored in a chest of drawers where I retrieve them and read them aloud, somehow hoping to conjure a ghost.”

Todd Davis

The Land Bridge: A Literary Isthmus, is a literary blog started in 2023 by young writer, Angel Zhao. It is a passion project, a glimpse into her head. This is for bridging the divides between landmasses, finding each other and ourselves before being cut off by sea. Isthmuses heal. They are indispensable.
