Publisher’s description: Hayden's Ferry Review showcases the voices of emerging and established talents in creative writing and visual art from the national and international community. Because our editorship changes annually and involves the cooperation of two editors per genre, HFR is not tied down to particular styles, schools of thought, aesthetics, or ideologies. Additionally, editors often choose to explore particular topics in special sections.

We believe the artistic and cultural conversations between the work of established and emerging artists figure prominently in the future of written and visual art, and we are enthusiastic about identifying and supporting artists whose work we feel is of significant cultural merit.

Only a small portion of our publication is solicited from established authors; most published works are chosen from the thousands of unsolicited manuscripts of poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction, and art we receive each year; every submission to HFR is carefully considered.

Previously showcased in The New Yorker, TIME and Vanity Fair, Julie Blackmon’s vivid and eerily nostalgic photographs grace the cover and pages of Hayden’s Ferry Review Issue #47, Fall/Winter 2010. Of this, we’re very proud. Other things to beam about: the last half of Icelandic author Steinar Bragi’s novella (first half published in Issue # 46) The Rafflesia Flower. Translator Salka Gudmundsdottir captures the bleak and forbodding nature of Bragi’s work beautifully. Also, ASU alumnus and celebrated author Adam Johnson divulges his views on Maximalism, the apocalypse and lying in fiction in his conversation with Noah Tucker.
