"There’S A Place For You, Too": A Chat With Tony Foley, Editor Of Callosum, Tony Foley, Robert Fromberg
The Review Review
Several years ago, a group of high school students was crossing the street in front of my stopped car. I recognized one, whom I knew to be an incredibly talented visual artist. I wondered how many other gifted and passionate young artists were in the group, or among clusters of students at this moment in communities around the world; I wondered whether their talent was encouraged or even known. The artist I recognized is now visual editor of Callosum Magazine, whose mission is to create a community for emerging artists in all genres. The publication is second to none …

Veteran Journal Showcases "Craft" Through Standout Prose And Poetry: Review Of Ecotone, Fall/Winter 2017, Jill Twist
The Review Review
If there ever was a single way to pay homage to the many different types of handmade art, Ecotone does it with Issue 24: Craft. Opening the issue with a comforting message on writers’ need for resilience from the editor-in-chief, and ending with a thought on craft from each contributor, Issue 24 shows just how crafty, how chameleon-like, craft can be.

Do you ever dream of a magical place, away from your house and job, where you can write for weeks at a time without being interrupted? A place of solitude where you can finish that long tangled novel draft or revise those poems you've been meaning to finish? If so, a writing residency might be right for you.

Publishing Advice: The Best And The Worst, Becky Tuch
The Review Review
There is a lot of advice out there for writers trying to perfect their material and send it out into the world. But how much of the advice we receive is in our best interest? What should we heed, and what should we discard? I asked some writers and editors for the best and worst of publishing advice.

Forget Publishing. Just Write!, Dell Smith
The Review Review
I recently looked at some of my old manuscript printouts. I still keep them tucked away in an old cardboard R-Kive banker’s box, hoping I have some worthy stories I can dust off and polish into gems. Well, there may be a few good ideas kicking around that banker’s box, but I can’t get past the horrid writing. I forgot what a bad writer I was. It’s all there in this tomb of fictive sorrows, embalmed in yellowed paper.The contents of that box represents the years of frustrating, difficult, and at times hopeless work it took to be the writer …

"We Are Making Birds, Not Birdcages": An Interview With Michael Dumanis, Editor Of Bennington Review, Michael Dumanis, Jennifer Stern
The Review Review
Bennington Review was originally founded in 1966 by Laurence J. Hyman, the son of Stanley Edgar Hyman and Shirley Jackson. The first iteration of the magazine focused on publishing work by distinguished faculty and alumni — Bernard Malamud, Helen Frankenthaler, and Kenneth Burke, but gradually more and more work came from outside the college community, and the magazine increasingly received national attention. In 1978, Bennington Review was relaunched as a highly visible national journal. Under editors Robert Boyers and later Nicholas Delbanco, Bennington Review became a testing ground for contemporary arts and letters, publishing work by such established figures as …

"We Are A Magazine Of Africa And The Diaspora...Interested In Roots, And Routes": A Chat With Alejandro De La Fuente, Editor Of Transition, Alejandro De La Fuente, Catherine Fahey
The Review Review
Transition defines its goal to be "a pivotal medium for discussion of the global predicament of the African Diaspora in an age that demands ceaseless improvisation." Publishing short fiction, non-fiction, poetry, reviews, and interviews with these concerns in mind, the magazine is an intellectual forum for reflection on identity. Alejandro de la Fuente writes in the magazine's submission guidelines, "in an age that demands ceaseless improvisation, we aim to be both an anchor of deep reflection on black life and a map charting new routes through the globalized world." Professor de la Fuente is the founding Director of the Afro-Latin …

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 …

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
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
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 …

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.
