The Georgia Review Magazine

The Georgia Review—the University of Georgia’s journal of arts and letters—debuted in 1947, promising a magazine “turning on subjects of special interest to Georgians, and all, as nearly as feasible, written by Georgians or people associated with Georgia."

With the Spring 1978 issue, an entirely new Georgia Review appeared, which contained the first indications of what would continue as its essential approach and format: an art portfolio, a full color cover, original work from the traditional three genres, and an extensive review section.  In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on the extraordinary ability that a print journal has for community engagement and building, in Athens and across the nation, in classrooms, at festivals, and any other place at which readers can congregate.

While it began with a regional commitment, its scope has grown to include readers and writers throughout the U.S. and the world, who are brought together through the print journal as well as live programming. Convinced that communities thrive when built on dialogue that honors the difference between any two interlocutors, we publish imaginative work that challenges us to reconsider any line, distinction, or thought in danger of becoming too rigid or neat, so that our readers can continue the conversations in their own lives.
