Splitting By Alyssa Palazzo (2017)

LRR, June 28, 2017June 24, 2017

Left I. She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. A slender Italian with olive skin and a swollen stomach sits across from me. We are on a train rushing to Manhattan, and her feet are propped on the red duffel that sits at my knees. Her long…

LRR, June 27, 2017June 24, 2017

day 1 We met and though I was elsewhere involved, I knew that he would be the sweetest thing my eyes would ever reach. He had a long term girlfriend but still I couldn’t take my eyes from his toiled blonde hair those anesthetic blue eyes. He looked full to…

“The things that hold you back can often help you”: An Interview with Poet Allison Joseph, By Taylor Caron (2017)

LRR, June 17, 2017March 5, 2024

It’s been said that expectations are best kept low when meeting a brilliant writer. This advice makes sense when one considers that a writer is presenting their best, most polished self on the page. The real thing should inevitably yield disappointing. I feel privileged in being able to verify that…

Books and Videogames: A Marriage of Two Mediums

By: Autumn Magro

LRR, April 7, 2017February 8, 2025

I love videogames more than books – sometimes. It’s not easy to admit that books are not my one bountiful passion in life (because how romantic is that?), and it’s taken me even longer to rationalize the two together. Unlike books, there is a negative connotation with video games. There…

Oh My Pod! Podcasts to Keep You Entertained Over Spring Break

By: Mairead Loschi

LRR, March 18, 2017February 8, 2025

Spring Break is finally here and it couldn’t have come sooner. You’re probably off to an exotic location or maybe even your bed (both options sound pretty amazing right now). Midterms are over and this is your chance to relax and get away from all of that reading and studying….

Embarrassing First Lines

By: Sydney Lauro

LRR, March 17, 2017February 8, 2025

A few years ago, my mom found an old composition notebook of mine from when I was a wee tike. In it, there was one entry that struck her. It said something like: “Meghan (my sister) says if I try hard one day I might write good.” Even little me…

The Best American Sci-Fi/Fantasy: Wonderbomb or Bust?

Review by Caitlyn Durfee

LRR, January 30, 2016February 8, 2025

“Wonder is a blasting cap. It is an emotion that goes off with a bang, shattering settled beliefs, rattling the architecture of the mind, and clearing space for new ideas, new possibilities. Wonder is often thought of as a peaceful emotion, a sense of resounding inner quiet. Of course we…

The Art of the Contributor Bio

LRR, March 12, 2014February 8, 2025

Congratulations! Your work has been accepted into a literary journal. Now here’s the hard part– you have about three lines to describe your essential being in the third person. I’m awful at contributor bios. Just plain useless. I think each time (not that there have been many, but we can…
