Publisher’s description (150 words): We’re immensely proud of CutBank’s thirty-four years as Montana’s foremost literary magazine, founded in 1973 by the Creative Writing program at the University of Montana and helmed initially by favorite literary son William Kittredge. We publish two issues a year of compelling poetry, fiction, and literary nonfiction by established writers and new voices alike. We’re global in scope, but with a regional bias. Over the years, we’ve been privileged to feature work by Wendell Berry, Louise Erdrich, Richard Hugo, Seamus Heaney, Chris Offutt, Virgil Suarez, Aimee Bender, and a number of other writers whose work we’re fond of. That’s the joy, we think, of both publishing and reading a publication like CutBank—discovering work one is fond of.

“Everything about this magazine intrigues—its look, the art, the poetry, the fiction . . . Who could ask for more?”
