About Northwest Review:

Northwest Review is the University of Oregon's tri-annual journal of literature, the arts and culture. It is among the nation's oldest and most esteemed literary reviews, and the only such publication in the Oregon State System of Higher Education. With subscribers in fifty states and thirty-seven foreign countries, Northwest Review has been widely circulated and celebrated for over forty years, making known the vitality of the University of Oregon, and garnering every major award given to magazines of its kind, from the National Endowment, to the Oregon Governor's Award for the Arts, to the Eugene Arts and Letters Award.

"The Northwest Review has a long and distinguished reputation in national letters. Wherever one goes among writers and readers of fine literature, one hears the name of this magazine. It has published and encouraged many of our finest writers, and has done so often when they were beginners. Because of this the magazine has continued to be, quietly and crucially, one of the voices of human freedom and hope."
