Nebraska Territory Review

Nebraska Territory Review The Nebraska Territory is currently managed by the WSC Press and the Editing for Publication students (ENG 221 Wayne State College).

The Nebraska Territory is an online review of contemporary literature written by those with a relationship with the Northern Plains, including Nebraska, the Dakotas, Wyoming, Colorado and Montana- essentially the old Nebraska Territory. In 1989 Kris Loberg and Kathy Witt, looking for an efficient way to widen the audience for contemporary poetry and fiction of the Northern Plains, founded Nebraska

Territory. Printed on newsprint and distributed free to the public libraries of the states of the old Nebraska Territory – Nebraska, South and North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming – the Territory filled the void left by The Elkhorn Review, which had ceased publication shortly before. Now Nebraska Territory has been reincarnated on Facebook , and to further its original mission each month the editors will alert readers and subscribers to significant books by contemporary poets and writers of the region that they might not otherwise hear about.

I was telling stories since before I could write, and she would capture them in this notebook. Halfway thro...

How did you get into writing? Do you remember your first piece of writing? I would say it was a convergence of things: I took a lit course from an Ursuline Sister at Rummel High School, who taught American Poetry. Poe, Hughes, Crane, Lowell, and others really inspired me.

How did you get into writing? Do you remember the first piece of writing? I mean, I started writing because I was in high school and had a lot to vent. The first poem I remember writing is a sad poem about a girl I liked which no human will ever see (not that it’s...

The Great Plains have always rumbled with a sort of enduring authenticity, but few have captured it as uniquely as Red Shuttleworth in his latest collection, Hardly Alone. Deep in what far too many consider flyover country, the “shabby heaven of crazy roads, rain and wind,” there is life; there ...

https://wscpress.com/2784/news/book-review-sundown-at-faith-regional-by-barbara-schmitz/

Barbara Schmitz’s poetry is perhaps unique among midwestern Nebraska poets in that it has been informed significantly by Sufi mysticism—there are several of glancing references to “whirling” in the poems of Sundown at Faith Regional—Buddhist chanting, and Hindu meditation. She has also pur...

Our Story

In 1989, Kris Loberg and Kathy Witt, looking for an efficient way to widen the audience for contemporary poetry and fiction of the Northern Plains, founded Nebraska Territory. Printed on newsprint and distributed free to the public libraries of the states of the old Nebraska Territory – Nebraska, South and North Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming– the Territory filled the void left by The Elkhorn Review, which had ceased publication shortly before.

Nebraska Territory stopped printing around 2001 but is currently being reincarnated on the WSC Press website and on Facebook. To further its original mission, each month we’ll alert readers to significant books by contemporary writers of the region that you might not otherwise hear about.

The Nebraska Territory is currently managed by David Z. Drees and the WSC Press. An online archive of past issues will be available soon at wscpress.com. Questions can be sent to [email protected] or message us on Facebook. If you have a new book you would like to be considered for a review, please send a copy to WSC Press c/o David Drees 1111 Main St. Wayne, Ne 68787.
