We’ve got a date and a place for our third “Greetings from The Cincinnati Review” cross-country, multi-author, über-tastic reading series. First we took San Francisco. Next we owned Seattle—well, for a couple of hours, anyway, before the mayor demanded his key back (though even then, poetry editor Don Bogen made him arm-wrestle for it). Our …

Writers are often afraid of science. Perhaps their minds are not capable of complex math. Maybe they’re too sensitive to ideas like black holes, instant cell death, and robot children, which keep them up at night. Perhaps they’ve had bad experiences of scientific humiliation and disappointment. Associate Editor Lisa Ampleman was kicked out of 9th-grade …
Yeah, we still do it the old-fashioned way. Boxes arrive, we crack them open with a sense of both trepidation and excitement, and if the pages are not upside-down or smeared with ink blobs or otherwise wonkified, we woot and do head butts, then make an offer of Laffy Taffy to our office Lit Gods …

Five of our contributors let us know their poems had been accepted and were duly praised on the website, but it turns out there were actually seven poems from our …
Brian Trapp: I’m in my reading year, which means I have to trudge through Proust and Joyce and other Very Important Authors. But I also get to read lesser known authors who would be just as Very Important if there were any justice in this cold, black universe. Tom Drury is one of these. My …
Last week, when volunteer Suzanne Wendell strolled into our offices, we complimented her new chin-length bob. “Nice ‘do,” we said. “I did it myself,” she replied. “Huh?” we said, because Suzanne’s hair actually looked pretty good, nothing like the inch-from-the-hairline bangs we cut for ourselves when we were kids. “Yeah,” she replied. “Actually, I moonlight …
