Welcome to The Antioch Review

The Antioch Review, founded in 1941, is one of the oldest, continuously publishing literary magazines in America. We publish fiction, essays, and poetry from both emerging as well as established authors. Authors published in our pages are consistently included in Best American anthologies and Pushcart prizes.

Surviving several international wars and the shifting currents of both the ideological and literary marketplace, librarians from Delhi to Dresden now know us, writers and critics read us, and two generations of readers remember the Review for a particular article, story, or poem that caught their imagination. We continue to serve our readers and our authors and to encourage others to publish the “best words in the best order.”
