Publisher’s Description: Arkansas Review: A Journal of Delta Studies focuses on the seven-state Mississippi River Delta. Interdisciplinary in scope, we aim for materials that will entertain and enlighten a general academic audience. We welcome original contributions from all the humanities and social sciences, including anthropology, art history, folklore studies, history, literature, musicology, political science, and sociology. As well, we publish fiction, poetry, essays and visual art that evokes or responds to the Delta cultural and natural experience. Excellence is our primary criterion for publication, but we also require that all submissions be relevant to the seven-state (IL, MO, KY, TN, AR, MS, LA) Mississippi River Delta.

Recent issues:

August 2007, Vol 38, No. 2
In a slight departure from the past, this issue features only creative work--albeit creative work that evokes the Mississippi River Delta. The cover photo and the centerpiece of the issue are from Amy Evans, an oral historian for the Southern Foodways Alliance. As well, fiction from Quinn Dalton and Mary Troy offers singular takes on life in Baton Rouge and St. Louis. Louis C. Bourgeois explores his haunted Louisiana in two essays, and poets Beth Gylys and Leslie St. John contribute masterfully to the August issue.
