Wright State University’s Department of English Language and Literatures is relaunching a literary magazine, Mad River Review, says Dennis Loranger, lecturer in English and music. Dennis will also serve as the relaunched magazine’s editor.
“Literary magazines tend to rise or fade away based on the resources and energy that a department or editor can put into them,” Dennis says. “Mad River Review was a publication at Wright State in the university’s early days, back in the 1960s. It faded away for awhile, and then was revived during the 1980s as a journal for literary criticism. Now it’s back again, this time as an outlet for creative writing — poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction.”
