The Brooklyn Review

The Brooklyn Review In the past, it has published works by Wayne Koestenbaum, Mac Wellman, Young Jean Lee, Lisa Ko, and Ann Lauterbach, among others.

A long-running, Brooklyn-based literary magazine that publishes innovative poetry, fiction, performance pieces, and interviews by emerging and established writers. The Brooklyn Review was founded almost thirty years ago and is run by the students of The Brooklyn College MFA Program of the City University of New York, a program where John Ashbery and Allen Ginsberg taught. We are looking for innovative new poetry, fiction, and dramatic works.
