About
Barely South Review is the literary journal of the Creative Writing program at Old Dominion University dedicated to publishing innovative prose, poetry, and art from both emerging and established writers and artists. Formerly the Dominion Review, the journal moved online under our current name in 2008. Barely South refers to our home – the coastal Tidewater region of southeastern Virginia and its unique blend of diverse cultures and histories. We feel there is great complexity in any creative assertion of “here”, and it is in this spirit that Barely South Review features voices that defy easy regional, thematic, and stylistic categorizations. Throughout our run we've published such writers as Karen Lee Boren, Sue William Silverman, Rita Ciresi, Suzanne Matson, Mark Cox, Christopher Sindt, Carolyn Kreiter-Foronda, Vivian Shipley, Kelly Cherry, Bryan D. Dietrich, and Billy Collins, among others. Recent work has been listed in the Best American Series. We seek great writing in its myriad forms. Cross boundaries, surprise us. The best way to get a clear sense of our tastes is to explore our recent issues.
