Editorial Focus

Published by the University of La Verne, Prism Review is an annual journal of contemporary poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction from established and emerging writers. Alongside its literary works, Prism Review also publishes interviews with relevant authors and reviews of contemporary works, giving readers the chance to peer through a variety of lenses at the present and future worlds of literature.

Tips From the Editor

Our taste is deeply varied: we’re moved by the succinct and by the strange, by the ethereal and by the deep. We enjoy reading work that is witty and work that is moving ... and especially work that’s both. We like playful and challenging—and we want to see things that are new to our eyes. In other words, we’re open to any and many styles—what matters most is that your work is surprising, thoughtful, complex.
