149 Review is an online journal focused on publishing fresh, original, thought provoking poetry and creative nonfiction. We want work that pushes the boundaries of literature while at the same time paying attention to the importance of craft. Devoted to publishing nothing but the highest quality issues, we are looking for work from writers at every stage of their career, so send us your best. We publish issues twice a year, in the Summer and Winter.
For the Love of Craft
At 149 Review, we are absolutely obsessed with understanding the individual craft decisions that go into the art we love. No matter how big or small, the tools a writer uses in the creation of their work has the power to fundamentally alter the way we look at the world. Something as simple as a line-break can bring us to tears. Something as complex as rhythm can put us in a trance. Good art has the power to transform the menial into the meaningful, the simple into the beautiful, and the lowly into the lovely. Every piece of art would be nothing without the craft that informs its very ability to express the will of the artist. At 149 Review, we want to read work that is masterful, thoughtful, and most of all, intentional with its use of craft.
