NewPages Recommends American Book Review
Founded in 1977, the American Book Review is a nonprofit, internationally distributed publication that appears six times a year. ABR specializes in reviews of frequently neglected published works of fiction, poetry, and literary and cultural criticism from small, regional, university, ethnic, avant-garde, and women’s presses. ABR as a literary journal aims to project the sense of engagement that writers themselves feel about what is being published. It is edited and produced by writers for writers and the general public.
Recent issues have focused on American World Literature, Human Rights, Prison Writing, Comics, Critical Lives, The Color of Children’s Literature, Multilingual Literature, The Sixties at Fifty, Machine Writing, Letters, Sex Writing, Literary Activism, Metamodernism, Lost & Found, Post-Apocalyptic Literature, and Arab-American Literature.
American Book Review is produced by University of Houston-Victoria under the editorship of Dr. Jeffrey R. Di Leo, Editor and Publisher of ABR, and UHV Dean of the School of Arts & Sciences.
