Publisher’s description: Quercus Review's main goal is simply to publish the best, most readable, and exciting poetry and prose around.
Housed at Modesto Junior College, Quercus Review is an annual, perfect-bound journal, featuring a full-color cover and more than 200 pages of poetry, fiction, and B/W art.
Our tastes are varied, but writing with a pulse, writing that's highly accessible, writing that resonates with a strong and unique voice—humorous or austere, somber or whimsical—will do better than writing that relies on gross sentimentality, hackneyed language, sing-songy rhyme, or clichés.
Quercus Review Press Book Award Winners and recent contributors have included Jacqueline Jones LaMon, X.J. Kennedy, Dorianne Laux, Naomi Shihab Nye, Wanda Coleman, Neil Carpathios, Lawrence Raab, Gerald Locklin, Amiri Baraka, Lyn Lifshin, Charles Harper Webb, Fred Arroyo, Allison Joseph, The Guerilla Poetics Project, and many more famous or up-and-coming, large and small press poets, writers, and artists from around the world.
