Flyway is a term which designates the aerial flight path of migrating birds. Flyway is also the name of a literary journal out of Iowa State University as the small town of Ames, Iowa, is directly below the central flyway.
The Atlantic Flyway may be described as extending from the offshore waters of the Atlantic Coast west to the Allegheny Mountains where, curving northwestward across northern West Virginia and northeastern Ohio, it continues in that direction across the prairie provinces of Canada and the Northwest Territories to the Arctic Coast of Alaska.
It may be called "the flyway of the Great Plains" as it encompasses all of that vast region lying between the valley of the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains, the principal wheat-growing region of both Canada and the United States.
The southward route of migratory land birds of the Pacific Flyway that in winter leave the United States extends through the interior of California to the mouth of the Colorado River and on to the winter quarters that are principally in western Mexico.
In its ten years, Flyway: A Literary Review has given space to the work of over four hundred poets, essayists, fiction writers and visual artists who chronicle the more subtle and disregarded regions of human experience.
Beside the work of writers such as Ray Young Bear, Madison Smartt Bell and Jane Smiley, we have published fine work by emerging poets and fiction writers who are seeing their words in print for the first time.
Flyway also distinguishes itself from other literary magazines by its vivid full-color covers and its authors' notes
