Mississippi Review

The print edition has published National Book Award winners, Pulitzer Prize winners, National Book Critics Circle winners as well as new writers just beginning their publishing careers. The magazine has been recognized with Pushcart Prize winners and pieces republished in Best American Short Stories and Best American Poetry. Ray Carver, who was an occasional contributor, described MR as “one of the most remarkable and indispensable literary journals of our time.” Pulitzer Prize winning poet, Charles Simic, himself a contributor to MR, said, “Mississippi Review is probably one of the best magazines in the country.”

We've done special numbers on politics and religion, literary magazines, the prose poem, New York School poets, Hamlet, minimalism, cyberpunk, Caribbean writing, panic sex, interviews with new writers, and on individuals including Rita Dove, Barry Hannah, Rick Bass, and James Robison. Over the years we have cultivated an irredeemably disheveled look and a catholic publishing program. Mississippi Review is a lively magazine, always offbeat, perhaps a bit ahead of the curve, if there is a curve. A readable magazine that fits none of the usual pigeonholes.
