Our Story
In 1986 poet and novelist Stratis Haviaras, then curator of the Woodberry Poetry Room in Harvard’s Lamont Library, founded a quarterly periodical called Erato in order to publicize the activities of the Poetry Room and create a forum for discussion of current literary events.
The first issue of Erato, which was just four pages long, featured a poem by Seamus Heaney, a short piece on Louis Simpson, and a news item from Harvard University Press. Tipped into the issue were three loose-leaf pages of book reviews, including reviews of works by Joseph Brodsky, Marguerite Duras, and Richard Ford.
Within three years, the book review section had grown to over thirty pages and the publication was renamed Harvard Book Review. In 1992 Haviaras launched Harvard Review, a perfect-bound journal of some 200 pages, published semi-annually and incorporating the old Harvard Book Review.
In the quarter-century (and more) since, Harvard Review has had just two editors. Haviaras retired in 2000 and was succeeded by Christina Thompson. She is joined by managing editor, Chloe Garcia Roberts, poetry editor Major Jackson, and a talented group of students and helpers, who make up the team at Harvard Review.
