Publisher’s Description: The Antioch Review, founded in 1941, is one of the most distinguished and well-established literary journals in America. The magazine publishes fiction, essays, and poetry from both emerging and well-known authors. Review writers are consistently included in Best American anthologies and awarded Pushcart Prizes; its editor, Robert S. Fogarty, received the PEN/American Center lifetime achievement award for editing in 2003.
Most issues combine genres. This mix of materials allows readers to move back and forth within an issue or select an area best suited to their interest. There are also occasional single genre issues. Recent issues have featured essays by Daniel Harris, Bruce Fleming, Jeffrey Meyers, Sallie Tisdale; stories by Nathan Oates, Rosellen Brown, and Peter LaSalle, along with award-winning poetry by Eric Pankey, Richard Kenney, and Dana Roeser.
The Antioch Review is published quarterly in association with Antioch College. The Review receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Ohio Arts Council, and numerous friends around the country.
