Kudos from critics:

“It’s difficult to find a more sophisticated, literate magazine…than the new renaissance…” – Hugh Fox, Ibbetson Update Reviews

“tnr , a great magazine, full of glorious art, lovely poems & stories, writing that feels, above all, vital.” – Steve Almond, author of My Life in Heavy Metal.

"...tnr #37 is a powerful collection of works ... that ... deepen and enrich each other by spinning a hundred different skeins on a similar subject: the world, our lives, their fragility, all refracted through a plethora of souls. Makes for a pretty remarkable read ... – Walter R. Maroney, Lawyer, short story writer, and poet
