Broad, Substantive, And Deeply Humanist: Lit Mag Digs Deep; Review Of Virginia Quarterly Review, Winter 2016, Rebecca Schwarz
The Review Review
Here’s one of the best general literary magazines you may not have heard of. The Virginia Quarterly Review (its cover now sports the more hip and hashtagable VQR) was founded by the University of Virginia in 1925. Still supported in part by the university, this quarterly magazine features a variety of topics both national and international and a uniformly high level of writing regardless of the subject. I would say more than half of the material falls under various nonfiction categories such as memoir, essay, interviews, reporting, and criticism. Clocking in at nearly 200 pages, there is something for every …

TSR is edited by Sreshtha Sen and Shyamolie Singh, two poets who are from India. All the poetry in TSR is in English, some appearing to be written originally in English while others have been translated from their original language.

Elegant Writing, Intelligently Curated; Review Of Salamander, Fall/Winter 2015, Marjorie Hakala
The Review Review
Salamander is a twice-annual print magazine published by Suffolk University in Boston. Issue 41, published in fall/winter 2015, has a picture of a dahlia on the cover. A brief, polite note from the editor kicks things off by informing us that Andre Dubus III judged the magazine’s 2015 short story contest, and we get his comments on the winners and a brief enumeration of the other prose works in the issue as well as the names of some of the poets. That is all the introduction anybody gets before we are off to the races.

New Online Lit Mag Is A First Stop For Flash Fiction; Review Of First Stop Fiction, Fall 2014, Stefanie Trout
The Review Review
First Stop Fiction is an online literary journal publishing flash fiction that ends at the earliest possible moment. That is, there are no neat conclusions where the reader knows what happens to the characters after the story has ended. Instead, First Stop Fiction readers are left to ponder, speculate, and marinate in the last words, perhaps reading the story over again from the beginning. In the editors’ own words, “First Stop Fiction is dedicated to publishing stories that spare no opportunity to end. We like things left messy. We like resonance achieved, then left alone.” In that sense, First …

Why Are Writers Of Color Underrepresented Among Published Authors? One Poet's Questions And Possible Solutions, Clara B. Jones
The Review Review
On 7 November 2015, The Atlantic published an article by Kavita Das titled, “Writers shouldn't romanticize rejection: in the literary world, talent isn't hiding. It's being ignored.” The article advanced two major premises: that a minority “voice” may be “alien or unrecognizable” and that rejection is a function of “power” relations. In Das' words, “Is my voice going to be somehow alien or unrecognizable to the person I am submitting it to?” Though the author recognizes that her essay might apply to all writers from underrepresented groups, she directs her concerns primarily to “writers of color.” While I agree that …

Lit Mag Is Home For Best Of What's Happening In Literature Today; Review Of Kenyon Review, Spring 2016, Rashi Rohatgi
The Review Review
That the March/April issue of The Kenyon Review is full of beautiful writing by important people should surprise no one: the magazine, prominent since the mid-20th century, has on its current advisory board Amitav Ghosh, Joyce Carol Oates, Ann Patchett, and other writers of the same caliber. In his Editor’s Notes, David H. Lynn makes much of the blossoming overlapped content between the current print and online issues, but, as ever, the real treat is in the small assemblages – particularly, here, Transylvanian poetry, an early Tennessee Williams play with commentary, and a new Amit Majumdar story – punctuated by …

A Creature Of (Many) Habit(Ation)S; Review Of Salamander, Summer 2008, Holly Monacelli
The Review Review
A salamander is amphibious. Not only can salamanders live both on land and in water, many species are endangered. Which means the salamander is doubly unique. Salamander, then, is a fitting name for Suffolk University's journal, showcasing multi-faceted writers that offer distinct viewpoints, which may just take you out of your comfort zone into exciting new environs. The journal was started in 1992 by Jennifer Barber, who wanted to target new authors. Barber recently told the Suffolk Scoop that it "isn't just for writers. It's for readers who understand, appreciate and enjoy good writing." I like to think I …

Justice Is Served--Review Of J Journal, Fall 2009, Abby Machson-Carter
The Review Review
For the second volume of a literary journal, J Journal is off to a good start. Published by John Jay College of Criminal Justice, J calls itself “a journal of new creative writing that poses questions about justice, directly and tangentially.” Receiving it in the mail, I wasn’t sure what to expect – how much mileage could they get out of just one topic? Would it be filled exclusively with essays about the criminal justice system, or would fiction be a part? Could this really be called “literary”?

Apocalyptic Indeed; Review Of Green Mountains Review, 20th Anniversary 2008, Kirsten Feldman
The Review Review
Celebrating its twentieth anniversary with a double issue entitled American Apocalypse, the Green Mountains Review explores uniquely American dread, tempered with spare, yearning shreds of hope only toward the end. In stark contrast to its last double issue, Comedy in Contemporary American Poetry, ironically readied for publication just before the Towers fell in New York, this issue confronts head-on the changes in the American psyche since that fateful day as exemplified by the work of thirty-six poets and short story writers. Not for the faint-hearted or laugh-seeking reader, this group of writers as collected and edited by GMR's insightful staff …

I signed up to be a part of The Review Review back in late January of this year. My first assignment arrived in a very comforting yellow envelope, my name handwritten—I was happy; I had been waiting for my first literary journal to arrive and the suspense of which one I’d receive incubated an anticipation I hadn’t felt since I was a kid waiting for magazines and letters to make it my way. I let the package sit on my desk and allowed it to coagulate some of the gravity in the room until I couldn’t resist any longer. When …

Who doesn’t love pop culture? It’s everywhere. My best friend knows more about pop culture than about what’s actually happening in the world.

Where should the reader start? Well, I’d suggest the editor’s letter to learn how this issue came about. Be warned, though, you’ll be howling with laughter.

We are all amateurs at the beginning. And while the latest issue of American Short Fiction includes strictly established authors, beginning writers can take heart: The well-established also had to sit in the slush pile before getting discovered and they too had their share of rejection letters. Thanks to some in-depth biographical notes, we are able to see how important American Short Fiction (and literary magazines in general) has been in launching the careers of some of our now-favorite writers. For its fortieth anniversary issue, this journal has done a beautiful job of showcasing the talent and diversity of its …

New York And Other Diverse Countries: Brooklyn Lit Mag Is Home For High-Quality Prose And Art Criticism; Review Of Brooklyn Rail, Spring 2016, Max Gray
The Review Review
The Brooklyn Rail’s dogged pursuit of good art and art criticism is one trait that’s helped it thrive for so long; the journal has published smart, largely accessible art criticism, essays, fiction, and poetry since its founding in 2000 by a cohort of artists including the painter Phong Bui, who remains its Publisher today. But the Rail’s adherence to high editorial standards mark it as a truly special journal, one that Bui calls a “social sculpture” or “work of art.” In an age when your average media consumer won’t view a work of art unless he is fooled into doing …
