The Southern Review is a publication of Louisiana State University. It consists of submitted written works. The Southern Review publishes poetry, fiction, interviews, critical essays, book reviews, and excerpts from larger works. Emphasis is placed on contemporary works, specializing in the culture of the southern United States and its history.
It was first published by LSU in 1934. It remains in publication today.
The SouthernReview, a literary journal published by LSU, was co-founded by three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Robert Penn Warren, who served as U.S. Poet Laureate and wrote the classic novel All the King's Men.
Holland, a Houston native, is an editorial assistant for The SouthernReview, one of the most prestigious and storied literary journals in the country.
The Review proved resilient, however, as it was reborn in 1965 under the leadership of editors Lewis P. Simpson and Donald E. Stanford (who retired in 1983 and was replaced by Olney).
