Our contest is officially open! Unfortunately, we’re still trying to configure Submission Manager so that you can pay your entry fee securely online at the same time you submit your piece(s) for consideration. Of course, the old-fashioned way always works. You can wait a bit for us to work out the kinks in our system, …
We’re pleased to announce that The Cincinnati Review is sponsoring the third annual Word Without End reading in Cincinnati, a three-hour open-mic marathon, from 6-9 p.m. on Saturday, May 12. We’ll convene in the biergarten at Christy’s in Clifton, where there will be sustenance and suds a-plenty. Past highlights: naughty PowerPoint presentations, Justin Bieber tribute …
While we were busy collating proofs for our upcoming issue, many of you were busy composing fabulous entries for our Premise Wars. The winner? All of you. We liked your ideas so much, in fact, that we’re sorry we didn’t think of it first: a Pulitzer Prize–winning marathon runner who comes back as a mummy …
This week, we’re meeting to finish our proofreading, a multi-step process involving the authors, managing editor, poetry and fiction editors, and assistant/associate editors. Each of us gets out our loupe and a brightly-colored pencil, and we pore through 200+ pages of the journal, noting things that would embarrass us if they made it into print …
Our T-shirts were a hit at AWP: Pushing , shoving, and literary insults ensued as aspiring and veteran writers alike forgot their manners in trying to snag one of these grammatically-instructive-yet-hip pieces of wearable art. Which means we’ve only got a few of these babies left—snap one up before they’re gone! Featuring superb artwork by …
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, …
Our Game of the Month was a popular one. A lot of you enjoy the grammar-based creativity of Mad Libs, and we were _____________ on the floor of the office as we read the entries. Snopes.com, Pomeranians, yodeling? All awesome. (Even better when we think about the Snopes.com debunking of the yodeling Pomeranian chain email.) …
With the news that HBO will be producing movies based on Faulkner novels, we wonder if poetry will ever be adapted in the same way. PBS recently aired an adapted poem, The Song of Lunch, as part of its Masterpiece Contemporary series. The film is appropriately PBS-style, with British accents (Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson …
Remember when, riding in the back of your parents’ old Dodge van, which spewed black noxious smoke and had way too many miles on it and was by all measures totally and completely uncool, you and your older sister used to crouch in the backseat to avoid being spotted by your junior-high classmates? And remember …
We’re hard at work proofreading the new issue (due out in January!), but in between bursts of intense, disturb-me-not concentration, we’ve been enjoying the captions you all have proposed for the photo posted in our Game of the Month. Laxatives, kegel exercises, mannequins: what more could we have asked for? We can determine whether “which” or “that” is …
