Origins

The international literary magazine New Orleans Review began in 1968 as an endeavor of Loyola's English Department. With professor and poet Miller Williams as the magazine's first editor in chief, New Orleans Review set out to be a journal of litertaure as well as culture. In its first decade, the magazine filled its pages with acclaimed writers, poets, scholars, and thinkers, including Joyce Carol Oates, Pablo Neruda, Ellen Gilchirst, Hunter S Thompson, Tess Gallagher, Annie Dillard, and Diane Wakoski, among many others. The magazine also established itself as a venue for publishing emerging writers and even first-time-in-print authors. Unique to the magazine were Loyola undergraduates working as editorial interns alongside faculty members.
