A lot of blood, sweat, and tears go into the copy-editing and proofreading of each issue of CR (and mustard . . . we blame associate editor Matt McBride for the mustard stain on our copy of The Chicago Manual of Style). And now that our newest issue is officially available, we want you, readers, …
February is beginning well for The Cincinnati Review. Our new issue is out in the mail, the AWP conference is on the horizon, and it’s 57 degrees today. Who cares if Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow? His prediction is fixed by the mysterious Inner Circle, after all, and trees are beginning to bud already. Another …
While recording commentary for his acclaimed Battlestar Galactica remake, creator Ronald D. Moore would treat himself to a tumbler of fine Scotch, and he would begin each episode’s podcast by telling you what that particular Scotch was. The Balvenie. Ardbeg. Highland Park. Lagavulin. Yes, life was good for Ronald D. Moore. As The Cincinnati Review …
One comforting thing about working for a pittance in an undervalued field at a besieged bastion of higher learning is that we’re not alone.

We’re thrilled to announce our latest arrival: Issue 8.2!

And each month, Cincinnati Review will contribute some of the best lit—poetry, fiction, and nonfiction—in the country. The …
The force of the thunderclap that woke us this morning at 3 a.m. heralded good news: two more of our contributors have been chosen for two great anthologies! Don Russ’s poem “Girl with Gerbil” (from Issue 8.1) has been chosen for the Best American Poetry 2012. He joins other contributors Julianna Baggott, James Kimbrell, and …
Our regular blog-readers (whom we casually yet affectionately refer to as bloggulers) are already familiar with Don Peteroy’s recurring feature, in which our volunteer-cum-inquisitor poses a single, and singular, question to a hapless group of innocent wordsmiths of his choosing. (He likes them—a lot—though sometimes it’s hard to tell.) Don is also a musician, a …
You know how sometimes you can tell something about a person just by looking at her? For example, the staff here at CR can tell you nine times out of ten what color a person’s hair is with little more than a prolonged glance (the tenth time we get tripped up by the nuances of …
We are exceptionally thrilled to congratulate three of our contributors whose poems (all from Issue 7.2) were chosen by Mark Doty for the Best American Poetry 2012! Julianna Baggott, “For Furious Nursing Baby” James Kimbrell, “How to Tie a Knot” Dean Rader, “Self-Portrait as Dido to Aeneas” Greatest congratulations to them! Below, we’ve posted some …
