Bosque River Review

About Us

The Bosque River Review is a new literary journal affiliated with Tarleton State University’s Department of English & Languages. The journal is named for the 104-mile river originating in Stephenville, Texas. For each issue, undergraduate student editors curate and publish submitted art in prose and poetry. We are a magazine that is proud to publish quality literary art from all writers, no matter their level of experience. Moreover, though we exist in the literary tradition, we believe that quality work across genres is as deserving of the label ‘literary’ as any other. Which is to say: we crave, too, your strange tales, your experiments in style and form, your wildest imaginings.

Editors: Grace Blazine, Sophia Bolton, Addy Brown, Teagan Driscoll, Ashytn Hansard, Andrew Kitchens, Heily LaCruz Silva, Sarah Marcantonio, Tim McKeen, K. D. Ward, Jaylee Wright
