Begun by novelist and short-story writer Dr. Terry Dalrymple in 1987, Concho River Review is a biannual literary journal published by the Department of English and Modern Languages at Angelo State University. Since its inception, CRR has prided itself on publishing some of the finest short fiction, nonfiction, and poetry from both emerging and established authors. Although originally designed as a

forum for Texas writers, over the years its reach and interests have extended well beyond Texas and the Southwest. In the words of our former editor Mary Ellen Hartje, CRR aims to provide its readers with “escape, insight, laughter, and inspiration.” Any stories or poems that achieve these aims can be published, but we prefer stories with a clear sense of conflict and well-defined characters and poems that are aurally pleasing and studded with powerful, precise images and diction. The nonfiction we publish comprises literary essays, memoirs, and interviews with prominent authors; most interviews are solicited, as they feature the guest writer at Angelo State’s Writers Conference, conducted in February of each year. We also publish about eight or ten book reviews in each issue, mostly on recent releases from small and university presses across the Southwest.

As readers of our latest issue already know, beginning this summer CRR will be on an indefinite hiatus while Angelo State University figures out the fate of our journal. We apologize to all of our contributors and readers for the inconvenience this change imposes.

While we are on hiatus, we will not be receiving submissions or taking subscriptions; however, through at least this summer we will still fulfill orders for copies of the current issue or back issues if we have them. Of course, I also will be available for correspondence. If there is anything you need, including more copies, please use Messenger or send an email to [email protected]. If you wish to pay for copies online, I can explain how to do that in a message.

Thank you for your continued support of our journal.

--R. Mark Jackson, general editor

This morning, I updated our review list, so the titles you see there are ready to mail out for book reviews. Consider writing a review for us.

Many of our veteran book-reviewers haven't written for CRR in a while. Now is a good time to try again. If you haven't ever written a review for us, please message me first, and I can explain more.

We'll have space in our Fall/Winter 2022 issue for a few more reviews. The deadline for that issue will be in early October. If you prefer more time, we can wait until our Spring/Summer 2023 issue, the deadline for which will be in early March.

Thank you all for your support of CRR!
