The
Southern Review publishes fiction, poetry, critical essays, interviews, book reviews, and excerpts from novels in progress, with emphasis
on contemporary literature in the United States and abroad, and
with special interest in southern culture and history. Poems and fiction
are selected with careful attention to craftsmanship and technique and to the
seriousness of the subject matter. Although willing to publish experimental
writing that appears to have a valid artistic purpose, The Southern
Review avoids extremism and sensationalism. Critical essays and book reviews
exhibit a thoughtful and sometimes severe awareness of the necessity
of literary standards in our time. Art reproductions—color or black
and white—of a wide range—paintings, photography, prints, sculpture—are
selected on the basis of engaging content and style. |
