We just wanted to send a quick reminder that our Robert and Adele Schiff Prizes in poetry and prose submission period will close at the end of this month. Aside from the honor of possibly winning a contest from a superior literary journal (one that was recently ranked in the nation’s top twenty we might …
It’s never too early to start thinking about—and planning for—AWP (the Association of Writers and Writing Programs conference). At least, from our perspective. We had such a fantastic time last year teaming up with Mid-American Review and Ninth Letter that we’re repeating the pleasure, this time in Chicago. YES, there will be another three-for-one subscription …
In the interest of making space in our storage closet, and for the boost that beneficence brings, we are offering one free back issue (your choice) to anyone who emails me (Nicola) at editors@cincinnatireview.com by the end of the business day on Monday (July 18). If you are already a subscriber, you can offer your …
Trophy, the new novel by CR’s fiction ed., is garnering some great reviews. Yet Michael, a modest sort of fellow, can’t bring himself to promote it. Ben Dudley, one of Michael’s students, recently took him to task for this on Facebook. The exchange went thus: Ben: Are you aware that you’re not on YouTube? Who …
Little known fact: We regularly receive submissions from inmates. Oddly—and interestingly—they are never about prison life. We have not yet published any of these submissions, which often bear the marks of a struggle to communicate without adequate tools, physical and educational (sometimes they are handwritten; sometimes the sentences are either difficult to parse—i.e., confusing—or use …

He returns this summer from his semester-long stint at the Seamus Heaney Centre for Poetry in Belfast. We look forward to hearing all about his adventures abroad, but he’s been kind enough to treat us …
Writers: you still have a bit more than a month to enter our summer contest. We’ve received a bunch of prose submissions (three with the particularly intriguing titles “Oil Spills Remind Me of Him,” “The Claybelle Maniacs,” and “Swimming with Sharks. Or Not.”), but not much in the way of poetry. Maybe all you poets …
Many thanks to PhD-in-the-making Eric Bliman both for teaching The Cincinnati Review in his poetry workshop and for writing about his and his students’ mental mastication of our mag, which I will refer to (for fun) as cranial cud. To enjoy your own cud—not to mention other beneficial byproducts of journal reading—subscribe or adopt CR …
Huge congrats to contributor Edith Pearlman on this prestigious award! Look for “Life Lessons,” a new story from Edith, in our next issue (Volume 8, Number 2: November 2011).
Our general reading period may be over, but that doesn’t mean our work is finished. Instead, we’re focusing on our summer contest, which is now open for submissions (submit!). Rumor has it that an armored truck, possibly filled with bees, will deliver the prize money in special-ops fashion, though we suspect it will probably be Nicola’s Honda, …
