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 …
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 …
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, …
by Nicola Mason Suddenly, I am a beekeeper. This is entirely due to the poet Liz Tilton, who some time back completed a brilliant stint as CR’s associate editor. She was an amazing officemate back then (We laughed; we cried; we swapped beet recipes), and she continues to amaze me, only at a slightly greater …
When volunteer Brandon Whiting ate eight billiard balls, he began to bawl. He tried to explain, plainly, why he wanted to eat the balls, but his bass voice grew coarse, he clutched the base of his throat, and then the blue ball—not the cue ball—blew on a trajectory course right out of his gullet, straight …
Word has it that the new issue is on its way! We’re super excited—the cover, featuring Bill Wolff’s sculpture More, looks great, and we have a terrific group of poems, stories, and essays from a wide range of writers. We’ll be mailing it out in the coming days, but in the meantime we want to …
Yesterday, we at CR received a cover letter simply titled “cover letter.” Aside from this single sheet, there was nothing else in the envelope. The letter was not signed, nor was there a return address. After a puzzled moment, we realized it was a late, and brilliant, entry in our cover letter contest (that’s what …
We are delighted to announce that Jane Springer’s poem “Murder Ballad” (CR volume 6, number 2) has been selected to appear in Pushcart Prize XXXVI. Big congrats, Jane!
