Ohio, the article says, has been home to established literary journals championing poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and other creative work for decades. Among the most prestigious is The Cincinnati Review which is based out of UC’s Department of English in the College of Arts and Sciences. This year marks the journal’s 20-year anniversary, and to celebrate, the fall issue’s theme highlights literature in Cincinnati.
Managing Editor Lisa Ampleman, a UC grad, tells the magazine that having writers from all over contribute to the publication helps position the city as a national literary community.
Included in the article is Short Vine, currently run by the Creative Writing and Literary Publishing class at UC. The publication, focused on publishing work by undergraduate students, was established in 2003.
The article highlights several other literary publications, beginning with Many Nice Donkeys which was created by five former Northern Kentucky University English graduate students.
