About the Magazine
Founded in 1948 | United States
For 64 years the Review was published as a scholarly journal in the arts, humanities, and social sciences. In 2012 it was converted to a literary journal format to publish poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. In 2018, we launched Boudin, an online section showcasing creative work along with interviews, reviews, craft essays, and any other delicious things that pique our interest. The editor of the Review is Michael Horner, who is the Director of the MFA program at McNeese and heads up the fiction side of the MFA. McNeese MFA candidates staff both journal and website, and play a major role in what gets published.
