"The current issue reminded me of an antipasto bar
in a fine restaurant I recently visited: colorful, interesting,
challenging, distinctive and robust—obviously not your
mama's cheese dip."
—"New
Pages" review, Fall 2004 issue |
Seneca Review, founded in 1970 by James
Crenner and Ira Sadoff and edited since 1982 by Deborah
Tall, is published twice yearly, spring and fall, by Hobart
and William Smith Colleges Press.
Distributed internationally, the magazine's emphasis is poetry,
and the editors have a special interest in translations of contemporary
poetry from around the world. Publisher of numerous laureates and
award-winning poets, including Seamus Heaney, Rita Dove, Jorie Graham,
Yusef Komunyakaa, Lisel Mueller, Wislawa Szymborska, Charles Simic,
W.S. Merwin, and Eavan Boland, Seneca Review also consistently publishes
emerging writers and is always open to new, innovative work. In
1997, Seneca Review began publishing the "lyric essay,"
creative nonfiction that borders on poetry, under the associate
editorship of John D'Agata. In that genre, we have featured work
by Anne Carson, Bernard Cooper, Fanny Howe, Wayne Koestenbaum, Honor
Moore, Mary Oliver, David Shields, Joe Wenderoth, Terry Tempest
Williams, and many others.
Past special features have included Irish women's poetry and Irish
prison poetry; Israeli women's poetry; Polish, Catalan, and Albanian
poetry; and an issue of essays devoted to Hayden Carruth.
"Deborah Tall is a superlative editor who deserves much praise and admiration, as does her editorial staff. What I see in this issue of Seneca Review is a consistent editorial philosophy, one that easily recommends itself beyond the issue I’ve discussed here. The range, the innovation, as well as the breadth of new, emerging, and established writers are a credit to the journal. In this reader they’ve definitely found a new subscriber."
—Chuck Rybak, in Literary Magazine Review, Spring 2005 issue |
Library Journal praises Seneca Review for "a thoughtful, considered view that one rarely finds anywhere else." Editor Deborah Tall won a citation from CCLM for "excellence of editorial vision." Poems from Seneca Review are regularly honored by inclusion in The Best American Poetry and Pushcart Prize anthologies. And "Poets & Writers Magazine" feature Seneca Review in their September/October 1999 issue's "News and Trends."
