A Literary Magazine of Consequence
That one of the nation's best literary magazines comes out of Alaska may seem surprising, but so it is.
How large the scope of this exceptional journal is. AQR has always sought not only work of aesthetic strength and power but also work that includes a rigorous questioning of larger societal issues.
It remains one of our best, and most imaginative, literary magazines.
Fresh treasure.

Kudos to author and AQR contributor Dina Nayeri. She recently appeared on the PBS Newshour to discuss her latest book, Ungrateful Refugee (Catapult). Three of her short stories have appeared in AQR including "A Ride Out of Pharo," an O. Henry Prize winner.
AQR's new issue will engage, inspire, and move you! Personal essays: "Icon" by Richard Adams Carey, "The Witching Hour" by Kelly Sundberg, and "Love, Crazy?" by Deborah A. Lott. 12 short stories, a major photographic essay, and a collection of poems by 26 poets. AQR is available at selected bookstores and from aqreview.org.
Kudos to fiction writer and AQR contributor Debbie Urbanski (debbieurbanski.com).

Debbie has appeared in AQR 7 times and, most recently, her story "Hysteria" is included in AQR's just released Summer & Fall 2019 edition (aqreview.org).
