Foundation+Innovation: Interview With Chad Harbach Of N+1, Chad Harbach, Justin Mcneil Sep 2020

Foundation+Innovation: Interview With Chad Harbach Of N+1, Chad Harbach, Justin Mcneil

The Review Review

A quick glance at the first bookshelf in n+1's office yields Goncharov's novel Oblomov; esoteric, humorous, and askew from the canonical norm, this sighting tells me I'm at the right office better than a sign on the door. A biannual journal of cultural criticism, fiction, and literary trends, n+1 has in the five years since its inception become a literary golden boy on the same sparing level as the staid and long running journals - picture The New Yorker's famous cartoon of Eustace Tilley looking through his monocle pensively at n+1 instead of a butterfly. Situated in …

"We Just Want To Encourage And Support More And More Poets Every Year": A Chat With Tim Green, Editor Of Rattle, Tim Green, Connie Post

The Review Review

All literary magazines have their own path, their own genesis. Each strives to find its place and the way to reach many readers. Rattle magazine has achieved great success in the literary world in part because it publishes poems that cause “a rattle in the heart.” This interview will take you through this journal’s beginnings and more!

One of the oldest continuing literary magazines in Canada, the Review has an international reach, with readers in Germany, Korea, France, and Saudi Arabia, and submissions coming from as far away as Afghanistan and Brazil.

Canadian Journal Anchored By Excellence: Review Of Antigonish Review, Fall 2018, Lindsay Gerano Sep 2020

Canadian Journal Anchored By Excellence: Review Of Antigonish Review, Fall 2018, Lindsay Gerano

The Review Review

The Antigonish Review reveals excellent poetry, fiction, book reviews and a single nonfiction essay in its Fall 2018 issue. Topics wide in range covered seemingly everything from health concerns to marital strife and more. Nearly half a century of publishing some of the best in Canadian prose, including Margaret Atwood, The Antigonish Review (TAR) carries vocabulary thick with glaciers and moraine, morass and Halifax, Adirondacks. More than half of the writers in its pages are Canadian or have close ties to Canada.


"Sharing The Desire To Open U.S. Literary Culture To Outside Perspectives": An Interview With Geoffrey Brock, Anna Vilner, And J. Bailey Hutchinson, Editors Of The Arkansas International, Geoffrey Brock, Anna Vilner, J. Bailey Hutchinson, Ruby Hansen Murray Sep 2020

"Sharing The Desire To Open U.S. Literary Culture To Outside Perspectives": An Interview With Geoffrey Brock, Anna Vilner, And J. Bailey Hutchinson, Editors Of The Arkansas International, Geoffrey Brock, Anna Vilner, J. Bailey Hutchinson, Ruby Hansen Murray

The Review Review

The Arkansas International is a vibrant space, evident in the recent publications of Anneli Furmark’s comic “Horses” (translated by Hanna Strömberg) and Ladee Hubbard’s essay “Mafolie Hill,” which describes the author's time in the Virgin Islands. The journal, published by students of the University of Arkansas Program in Creative Writing and Translation with Geoffrey Brock as editor-in-chief, seeks to place “US writing in conversation with writing from around the world.” The editors seek more creative nonfiction in translation from underrepresented countries as well as writing in English from underrepresented voices. The enthusiasm of its staff is evident as they describe …


Journal Falls A Bit Short Of Satisfying: Review Of Your Impossible Voice, Fall 2018, Petur Hk Sep 2020

Journal Falls A Bit Short Of Satisfying: Review Of Your Impossible Voice, Fall 2018, Petur Hk

The Review Review

Overall Your Impossible Voice is far from bad, but at the same time, not much comes to mind when I try to think of the pieces in this issue. There is a general over-arching theme of feeling out of place, of trying to find a, as Joanna Ruocco puts it in her excerpt from The Runner, “better solution to the problem of existence.” And this theme is strong throughout, for better and for worse. The majority of narrators and characters feel far away, from each other as well as from the reader, telling their stories at a distance. This …


Fearless Journal Delivers Another Knockout: Review Of Redivider, Fall 2018, Louisa Parzyk Sep 2020

Fearless Journal Delivers Another Knockout: Review Of Redivider, Fall 2018, Louisa Parzyk

The Review Review

Volume 15.2 of Redivider packs some serious heat with free-verse poetry, fiction, non-fiction, and graphic narratives addressing topics like death, war, racism, and more in its 141 pages. More often than not, the subject matter has a dark bent that gives way to grave themes.

Journal Takes You Into The Dark Well Of The Soul And Delivers Truth: Review Of The Tishman Review, Fall 2018, Matt Koehler Sep 2020

Journal Takes You Into The Dark Well Of The Soul And Delivers Truth: Review Of The Tishman Review, Fall 2018, Matt Koehler

The Review Review

The Tishman Review is not for the faint of heart but that's not to say it shouldn't be read by anyone and everyone. True, it's unapologetically cruel to happy emotions but the assault is necessary to the mission of the journal. Art, here, mimics life and there is no guarantee of happiness or resolution found in Tishman. Rays of hope and humor are found across the electronic pages prose, poetry, artwork, and photography but one shouldn't expect it. Instead, the writing weaves its way through life's infinite number of variables, imperfections, and capriciousness to paint an honest picture.

"Our Sole Ambition Is To Publish The Best Writing Possible": A Chat With Michael Ray, Editor Of Zoetrope, Michael Ray, Scottie F. Gerald, Becky Tuch Sep 2020

"Our Sole Ambition Is To Publish The Best Writing Possible": A Chat With Michael Ray, Editor Of Zoetrope, Michael Ray, Scottie F. Gerald, Becky Tuch

The Review Review

It's hard not to be awed by Zoetrope. In the world of small press publishing, Zoetrope is pretty much The Godfather of Literary Magazines. Zoetrope appears quarterly and offers up a wholly new look—and sometimes texture—with every issue. Guest designers have included Tom Waits, P.J. Harvey, Jeff Koons, and Mikhail Baryshnikov, to name just a few. Zoetrope has published the likes of Woody Allen, Kurt Vonnegut and Salman Rushdie, as well as filmmakers like Gus Van Sant and Miranda July. Then too there is the Classic Reprint feature: in every issue, a short story that inspired a movie is …


"The Realms Of Language And Art Are Boundless": A Chat With Kathleen Fitzpatrick And W.F. Lantry, Editors Of Peacock Journal, Kathleen Fitzpatrick, W. F. Lantry, Sanjeev Sethi Sep 2020

"The Realms Of Language And Art Are Boundless": A Chat With Kathleen Fitzpatrick And W.F. Lantry, Editors Of Peacock Journal, Kathleen Fitzpatrick, W. F. Lantry, Sanjeev Sethi

The Review Review

Peacock Journal began its creative journey in August 2016. In a short span of time it has caught the attention of the literati. More than 300 contributors have exhibited their excellence. Helming the endeavor is a polished couple: Kathleen Fitzpatrick (Managing Editor) and W.F. Lantry (Editor). K.F. in her other role is a gifted coloratura soprano while W.F.L. is a celebrated poet, respected for his layered compositions. Peacock Journal treats the text with extraordinary care. The layout is aesthetic with a visual accentuating the wordings. No wonder this journal is on the list of most contributors searching a home for …


Advice To My Pre-Published Self, Nichole Bernier Sep 2020

Advice To My Pre-Published Self, Nichole Bernier

The Review Review

Recently at the pediatrician’s office I fell into conversation with a man in the waiting room, the father of a 7-month-old with some undiagnosed problem. We talked as parents do in these situations when you cut to the chase. About the toughness required of parents, developed over time for that limbo of uncertainty and worry. Somewhat sheepishly he told me about a video he’d seen online that had stuck with him. In it, mothers were asked what advice they would offer their younger, pre-parenthood selves. Which got me thinking about the long gestation writers go through for their first book. …

8 Reasons Your Submission Strategy Sucks (And What You Can Do About It), Becky Tuch

The Review Review

It's a new year, friends, which means time for some serious resolution-ising. If you've been writing and submitting up a storm lately, good for you. Please ignore everything below and get back to whatever you were doing before. If, though, you feel like something is wrong, like your strategy for submitting to lit mags is not quite working, if you want to be published more frequently and in more venues you love and lust after, then perhaps some of what's below applies to you.


A Secret In The Words Tales Of Literature And Dissent In Communist Czechoslovakia, Thea Toocheck Oct 2019

A Secret In The Words Tales Of Literature And Dissent In Communist Czechoslovakia, Thea Toocheck

Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection

In order to better understand the parallel culture of the 1970s and 1980s Czechoslovakia, this paper aims to tell the stories of six members of the Czechoslovak samizdat community: Marie Klimešová, Ivan Lamper, Ladislav Šenkyřík, Tomáš Tichák, Jáchym Topol, and Jarka Vrbová. Through personal interviews with these individuals, we understand how editors, typists, artists, writers, translators, and readers played significant parts in this parallel culture as well as how these people continue to play important roles in society today. While the tales told here are only parts of the lives of six individuals, they help reflect the impact of an …


The Amygdala Era: Emotion And Experience In Memoir, Meagan Shelley Apr 2019

The Amygdala Era: Emotion And Experience In Memoir, Meagan Shelley

Senior Honors Theses

Amygdala Era is a culmination of short memoirs and brief poetry designed to express a stream of consciousness state of emotion over logic. The work utilizes base, primal parts of the mind such as happiness, sadness, and fear, and dissipates into the emotion and memory that is experienced daily. This is achieved through a focus on creative writing theory including stream of consciousness, interior monologue, and free indirect discourse. Amygdala Era synthesizes the techniques, strategies, and methodology of these three theories by examining past literary examples from world history. Analysis of the targeted market for Amygdala Era is detailed based …

The Keepers: A Collaborative Constructive Narrative Podcast, Shay Carroll Feb 2018

The Keepers: A Collaborative Constructive Narrative Podcast, Shay Carroll

Honors Projects

This is a fictional podcast series that presents a story that is completed through roleplaying. The structure follows that of a video game, with the main characters, or "players," interacting with a set plot while deciding their own course of action. I act as the narrator for the story, controlling the plot and setting as well as non-player characters, or "NPCs." For the purposes of consistency and making sure the characters do not do anything that would be considered too over-powered or unrealistic, I have chosen to use the rule guide and statistics modifier system presented by Wizards of the …

A Checklist For Mortals: Preparing For Death’S Arrival, Becky Daniel Dec 2017

A Checklist For Mortals: Preparing For Death’S Arrival, Becky Daniel

College of Journalism and Mass Communications: Professional Projects

We learn everything from our parents—how to walk, talk and treat potential life partners. Yet our culture in the United States makes it difficult to talk to our parents about death and those consequences have a real impact. Closing a loved one’s estate can stretch from months to years without proper planning. While death is constant, the death industry is not. It is ever changing. And while all lives have equal value, there are many preparations that one person may need (veteran, parent, lotto winner) while another does not. The best way to prepare for death is to know its …

"In The Land Of Tomorrow": Representations Of The New Woman In The Pre-Suffrage Era, Natalie B. O'Neal Apr 2016

"In The Land Of Tomorrow": Representations Of The New Woman In The Pre-Suffrage Era, Natalie B. O'Neal

Department of English: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

This digital anthology explores feminism in selected short fiction by women writers from the 1911 run of the popular women’s magazines Woman’s Home Companion, Ladies’ Home Journal, and The Farmer’s Wife. This fiction furthered the women’s rights movement by allowing women to imagine a world similar to their own with a heroine who voiced their desires and enacted change. Rather than the more experimental, inaccessible literature of avant garde high modernist writers consumed by the upper class, popular fiction reached a wider, middle class audience and was more effective at producing a progressive zeitgeist following the stilted Victorian …
