New Plains Review: Fall 2011

Book excerpt: New Plains Review is published semiannually in the spring and fall by the University of Central Oklahoma and is staffed by faculty and students. We are committed to publishing high quality poetry, fiction and creative non-fiction by established and emerging writers.New Plains Review started in 1986 as a student publication of the Liberal Arts College of Central State University (now the University of Central Oklahoma). They solicited and published manuscripts from students of the humanities.The publishers of the first issue said, "With zeal and reason, we provide an evocative forum wherein issues of concern to all fields of humanities may be discussed."Over the years, New Plains Review has expanded its range to invite writers beyond the university community. We receive hundreds of submissions from all over the country, and the authors we publish range from the well-known to the soon-to-be-discovered.
