Missouri Literary Magazines: Show Me Show Me Show Me How You Do That Lit
Friday, February 9, 2024
9:00 am to 10:15 am
The editors of five Missouri literary journals—Boulevard, Laurel Review, The Missouri Review, Moon City Review, and New Letters—discuss how the Show-Me State has established a long-standing and eclectic history, from Mark Twain to Maya Angelou, as well as how they're tackling the challenges of the present and future. Literature is alive in Missouri, and these five editors will break down its proud tradition, as well as how they're helping to keep Missouri at the forefront of American letters.
