New page

Since 1960, Sou’wester has consistently published some of the best poems, short stories, and creative nonfiction being produced. Almost every issue includes one or more interviews, most recently with Julie Otsuka, Jane O. Wayne, R.T. Smith, and Li-Young Lee. SW regularlypublishes special topics issues, such as “The Long Poem and the Short-Short Story,” and, in Spring 2006, “Contemporary Catalan Poetry in Translation.” Sou’wester is meticulously produced and strives for elegance and excellence on and between the covers.
Our only literary creed is excellence. We don’t favor particular schools or groups or movements any more than we favor the established writer over the up-and-coming writer. We believe that one needn’t throw out tradition to achieve work that is startling. Similarly, our consistency and stick-to-it-iveness guarantee only the best kind of predictability: with every issue our job is to orchestrate a prime reading experience, period. And writers whose work appeared in Sou’wester Volume 37 can count on the appearance of Volume 38 (as much as you can count on anything), two issues worth, fall and spring.
