Next Deadline: February (tentative)

Contact: Mina Xu (minaxu@fas)

Lighthouse is dedicated to exploring issues that affect women; each issue has a theme, such as Women and Faith, or Women and Violence. In the past, Lighthouse consisted mostly of features and articles on women's issues, but lately the magazine's has shifted its focus to include more poetry, prose, art and photography. Submissions are considered on the basis of their relevance to the issue's theme, but the guidelines are flexible and open to interpretation. To submit, drop off material at the Woodberry Poetry Room or contact Mina Xu.

Harvard Review

Biannual

Contact: Stratis Haviaras

Tucked away in the Woodberry Poetry Room of Lamont Library is the office of Stratis Haviaras, editor of The Harvard Review. The Review is not a student publication; instead, it competes on a national level with the over 3000 other literary reviews published in the country. The work represented in the magazine is intended for a national and international audience, and there are no limits as to who may contribute. Their next issue, to be published in the spring of 2000, is themed "Metamorphoses." Work submitted for that issue will be judged in light of its relevance to that theme. Past issues have focused on people such as Seamus Heaney and Elizabeth Bishop and ideas such as love and pleasure. A very professional and polished publication, The Harvard Review has existed in its current incarnation only since the spring of 1992. Dream about getting published here, and in the mean time, just read it.
