Paris Review

2021-03-01T22:48:31Z

Lsgchas: /* Standard */

"Since its founding in 1953, ''The Paris Review'' has been America’s preeminent literary quarterly, dedicated to discovering and publishing the best new voices in fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. The magazine introduced readers to the earliest writings of Jack Kerouac, Philip Roth, T. C. Boyle, V. S. Naipaul, Ha Jin, Jay McInerney, and Mona Simpson, and published numerous now-classic works, including Roth’s ''Goodbye, Columbus,'' Donald Barthelme’s ''Alice,'' Jim Carroll’s ''Basketball Diaries,'' and selections from Samuel Beckett’s ''Molloy'' (his first publication in English). The first chapter of Jeffrey Eugenides’s ''The Virgin Suicides'' appeared in the ''Review’s'' pages, as well as stories by David Foster Wallace, Jim Crace, Lorrie Moore, Denis Johnson, Edward P. Jones, Rick Moody, Ann Patchett, Jim Shepard, and Jeanette Winterson."

<blockquote>Thank you very much for submitting to the ''Raleigh Review''. We read your work and, unfortunately, decided to pass on these poems. 
We're writers ourselves so we get the insincerity that comes with form rejections. What we're about to say is meant to be sincere: we want you to know that every poem submitted to us gets read by at least four staff members and we're always two of them. 
We appreciate you thinking of the ''Raleigh Review'' and letting us consider your poems. Don't give up on us. Please try us again. Most of those we've published have submitted numerous times.
