Tampa Review A project of The University of Tampa Press (see other related projects). We list other projects with similar titles. Please check that you report any submissions under the correct listing. About Tampa Review celebrates the creative interplay of contemporary literature and visual arts. Each issue of the journal features current art and writing from Florida and the world, emphasizing our connections to the Tampa Bay region and the international cultural community. The design of the magazine affirms a tradition of excellence in book arts hearkening back to illuminated manuscripts. The editors believe that contemporary works resonate most powerfully within a great tradition. As a gallery space in print, Tampa Review promotes awareness of multi-dimensional relationships between outstanding contemporary literature and contemporary visual arts. We advocate each act of reading as an experience of insight, outreach, and delight. Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions.
