About the magazine

Founded in 1986, Hayden’s Ferry Review is a semi-annual, international literary journal edited by the MFA students at Arizona State University under the guidance of a full-time editor in chief. HFR looks for well-crafted work that takes risks with language and form, challenges boundaries/borders and systems of power, and examines historically marginalized experiences, as well as work that identifies as hybrid or genre-nonconforming.
