The Southampton Review 10th Anniversary

southampton reviewThe Southampton Review Editor Lou Ann Walker recounts the day, ten years ago, when Robert Reeves, who would be rebuilding the MFA Creative Writing Program at Stony Brook University, opined that a “distinguished MFA program” should likewise have a “distinguished literary journal as its intellectual and creative center.” Then he asked Lou Ann: “Do you happen to know anyone who might be interested in founding and editing a literary review?” She writes that it had been her “secret dream” to do just that. Ten years later, Walker has created exactly the publication worthy of the university’s writing program – and vice versa! Publishing two issues per year, readers can also find selections available to read on the TSR website.
