The Adirondack Review is an independent on-line quarterly of literature and the arts published by Black Lawrence Press. It is dedicated to publishing quality poetry, fiction, artwork, and photography, as well as interviews, articles, book reviews, and film reviews. TAR was established in the spring of 2000, with its first issue appearing that summer.
A unique feature of The Adirondack Review is that issues are published as they come together; i.e., readers can watch the issue unfold as new work is accepted and published by clicking on the evolving issue link on the cover page. The current issue retains its status until the evolving issue has been completed, either by having had what the editor(s) feel is an appropriate amount of content for that particular issue, and/or we have reached the date of the respective equinox or solstice that the quarterly issue falls on (or near, as the case has sometimes been).
Each issue we include a featured poet, sometimes with an interview. The poets are chosen by the editorial staff; we do not normally consider applications for featured poet. We also maintain a successful internship program in which the student combines practical editorial experience with an individualized focus that meets the needs of both the student and the magazine. Interns may arrange to receive academic credit for their work at TAR.
If you are considering submitting your work to the Review, please be sure to look over the guidelines before doing so.
Although we continue to publish established and emerging writers, we are very open to unpublished poets and writers. It is always a thrill to discover and encourage new talent. Each issue tends to reflect this commitment to publishing both those with extensive publication credits in widely respected journals as well as writers for whom TAR is their first publication. For a complete list of contributors, see our contributors' page. We seek to provide our readers with engaging, original work that offers them a view into another human being's soul, if only for a brief moment.
