About the magazine

Founded in 1978, the Missouri Review has earned a reputation for finding and publishing the very best writers first. Each issue contains new fiction, poetry, and essays, along with author interviews, art, and found-text features such as never-before-published works by William Faulkner, Tennessee Williams, and Katherine Anne Porter.
