The Southern Review
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Southern Review is a literary journal published by LSU. It was co-founded in 1935 by three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Robert Penn Warren, who served as U.S. Poet Laureate and wrote the classic novel All the King's Men, and renowned literary critic of the New Criticism school, Cleanth Brooks. The Southern Review has published works by T.S. Eliot, W.H. Auden, Wallace Stevens, Aldous Huxley, Allen Tate, Katherine Anne Porter, Peter Taylor, Eudora Welty, Randall Jarrell, Nelson Algren, Kenneth Burke, Thomas Hardy and many, many others.
The journal consists of submitted written works of poetry, fiction, interviews, critical essays, book reviews, and excerpts from larger works. Emphasis is placed on contemporary works, specializing in the culture of the Southern United States and its history.
Recently, The Southern Review has included visual art and in 2006 it won first place for Best Journal Design in the CELJ International Awards Competition.
Since 2003, Bret Lott has served as editor. Starting in 2008, Jeanne M. Leiby will serve as the editor. Also on the staff are Donna Perrault, Jessica Faust-Spitzfaden, Leslie Green, Barbara Bourgoyne and Susan Kirby-Smith.
