Called “the literary center of gravity of the Northwest states,” Northwest Review casts a discerning eye on the nation's literary activities. Here you'll find saucy first-time authors rubbing shoulders with Pulitzer-prize winners. You'll discover essays on the Poetry of Childbirth as well as The New American Torturers. Stories about lovers and the lovelorn. And poems on bees, hunger, marriage, and the nuclear peril. You'll also find, in recent issues, translations from the literatures of Cameroon, Russia, Nicaragua, Portugal, China and Serbia -- surely an easy way to travel.

We pledge to deliver in each issue of Northwest Review new writing that is honest and unforgettable. As you'll see [SAMPLE RECENT ISSUE], our authors, and our readers, are demanding, engaged, and hopeful.
