Founded in 1978 and edited by Stephen Donadio, NER has for more than twenty-five years kept its readers in touch with the imaginative adventures of the world’s most celebrated authors, while maintaining its commitment to new writers just emerging into prominence.

Recent and forthcoming issues feature new work by Natasha Trethewey, Tom House, Debora Greger, Jane Hirshfield, Stephen Dixon, William Logan, and Janet Kauffman, plus a range of nonfiction and translations.
