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.

Bravo! to AQR contributor Daniel O’Malley. His story “Simon” is longlisted for The Sunday Times (London) Audible Short Story Award--the richest prize for a single short story in the English language. O'Malley’s story "Bridge," first published in Alaska Quarterly Review, was included in 2016's Best American Short Stories anthology and broadcast on the NPR program Selected Shorts.
Kudos to poet and AQR contributor Robert Hedin. His poem “Monarchs, Viceroys, Swallowtails” (AQR’s current edition) was chosen by former U.S. Poet Laureate Ted Kooser for American Life in Poetry in national newspapers and online publications. American Life in Poetry is made possible by The Poetry Foundation (www.poetryfoundation.org).
