The Doctor T. Eckleburg Review is a literary and arts journal of The Johns Hopkins University, M.A. We take our title from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and house the full archives of our pre
decessor Moon Milk Review. Our aesthetic is eclectic, literary mainstream to experimental. We appreciate fusion aesthetics including magical realist, surrealist, metarealist and realist works with an offbeat spin. We value character-focused storytelling and language and welcome both edge and mainstream with punch aesthetics. We like humor that explores the gritty realities of world and human experiences. Currently, Eckleburg runs quarterly issues of free fiction, poetry, and a multimedia gallery with artwork, comedy spots, performance and/or music. Rarely will readers/viewers find a themed issue at Eckleburg, but rather a mix of eclectic works with their own individual aesthetics. It is Eckleburg‘s intention to represent writers and artists as a contemporary and noninvasive collective, each work evidence of its own artistry not as a reflection of an editor’s vision of what an issue “should” be. Outside of Kismet and special issues, Eckleburg will read and accept unsolicited submissions based upon individual merit, not theme cohesiveness.
