Sugar House Review is a nonprofit literary magazine founded in 2009 in Salt Lake City, Utah, dedicated to publishing contemporary poetry and book reviews. Established by a collective of poets and editors, it emerged from a desire to create a rigorous yet accessible platform for both emerging and established voices, with a particular emphasis on the craft and emotional resonance of the written word. The magazine operates with a commitment to fostering a vibrant literary community, both regionally and nationally, through its biannual print issues and online presence. At its core, Sugar House Review seeks to curate poetry that is attentive to language, image, and the complexities of human experience. Its mission is not merely to publish but to engage readers and writers in a sustained conversation about the art form, often highlighting work that balances formal innovation with lyrical clarity. The review has become a staple in the small press ecosystem, known for its discerning editorial eye and its dedication to reviewing poetry collections that might otherwise go unnoticed.
