Publisher's Description: Presenting the best writing of today, while shaping literature's tomorrow. Introducing new voices alongside the most respected writers of our generation. Showcasing writing that breaks new ground, illuminates, and expands your point of view. This is the mission of The Kenyon Review and its distinguished legacy.

Vibrant poetry, brilliant short stories, thoughtful essays that shed light on our culture and give greater meaning to our lives: The Kenyon Review offers this and more every quarter. For nearly 70 years, KR has been the most honored literary review--not only in this country, but throughout the world.

Recent years have seen the work of such writers as Tom Sleigh, Ellen Bryant Voigt, Janet Peery, Ron Rash, George Steiner, and Romulus Linney  appear in the pages of KR, along with authors who are emerging as the bright lights of the next generation, such as Roy Kesey, Meghan O'Rourke, and Holly Goddard Jones.  Issue after issue, the quarterly magazine showcases the finest writing to be found.
