LOOKING TOWARD TO OUR NEXT
SESQUICENTENNIAL
Dear Friend,
For over 40 years, I have dedicated my life to positioning the Antioch Review as a literary incubator in which we seek to sustain top-notch writers in the early stages of their careers, provide encouragement to seasoned mid-list authors, and take on topics and subjects too lengthy or controversial for commercial magazines. I am proud of our history of publishing prominent poets and authors alongside promising writers and that we are one of the oldest continuously publishing literary magazines in America. Our mission is to deliver the BEST word in the BEST order in every issue.
Yet, it is no secret that over the past decade, the publishing industry has experienced unyielding disruptions causing several independent publications to shutter their doors. I was shocked and saddened to learn that one of the casualties of our industry’s unappeasable revolution was Field (Oberlin College Press). This admired journal of contemporary poetry and poetics—that has published since 1969 (50 years)—issued its last journal this past Spring.
The Antioch Review has not been left untouched by the many transformations in the publishing industry. Recently, unbeknownst to us, our long-term printer went bankrupt leaving us scrambling to find another printer causing recent issues to be delayed. And, it is reasonable to believe that for the foreseeable future, we and other independent publications will be impacted by more changes.
I want to leave a legacy of preparing us to outlive current complexities and strengthen our ability to carry on when the volleys of next industry revolt are fired. Therefore, I am asking for your support in this important quest to safeguard the Antioch Review’s future as we work toward continuing to ensure that independent writers, exceptional poets, and brilliant thinkers have a voice and place in our pages.
We have highlighted several ways to support the Antioch Review on this webpage. We are counting on you and your backing of our little and mighty magazine as we look toward our next 75 years.
I thank you for your consideration and wish you and yours the very best during the up-coming holiday season and coming year.
Regards,
Robert S. Fogarty, Editor
