vivre (v): to live.
The Vivre Review is an online, AAPI youth-led literary magazine that aims to publish both emerging and established writers. We want stories that bloom from the mouth, then fall to the ground. Words that hum from the lips and breathe from the throat. Give us your forbidden love, your ruinous passions. Your effervescent portraits of what makes us human.
