Michigan Quarterly Review
Founded in 1962, the Michigan Quarterly Review is the University of Michigan's flagship literary journal. MQR publishes short fiction, essays, poetry, and translation four times a year. Twice a year, MQR publishes a special themed issue focused on addressing a single theme. Past special issues have included writing on the Flint Water Crisis, the Great Lakes, Greece, China, and Caregiving. Our magazine embraces creative urgency and cultural relevance, aiming to challenge conventions and address long-overdue conversations. As we continue to promote an expansive and inclusive vision, we seek work from established and emerging writers with diverse aesthetics and experiences.
