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.
