Started in 1964, The Plum Creek Review is Oberlin's oldest literary and arts magazine. The publication is devoted to publishing as many different creative forms as possible, including, but not limited to, prose, poetry, plays, screenplays, translations, visual artwork and photography. Though it spent a little more than a decade (1997-2008) as Enchiridion, PCR has spent the past six years under its
original name. As a student organization, the magazine is open to anyone, allowing Creative Writing students as well as those with an extra-curricular interest in literature, arts, and publishing to take part in reviewing incoming submissions, designing layout, and editing. In addition putting out a magazine every semester, PCR holds programs such as write-ins, readings, and workshops throughout the year. Our goal is to foster and preserve the creative act by giving literary and visual artists the opportunity to get published in print. Many accomplished writers have gotten their starts in our little magazine including two recent winners of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry (Carl Dennis, 2002, and Franz Wright, 2004).
