American Book Review (ABR)
Journal Descriptions
Founded in 1977, the American Book Review is a nonprofit, internationally distributed publication that appears four times a year. ABR specializes in reviews of frequently neglected published works of fiction, poetry, and literary and cultural criticism from small, regional, university, ethnic, avant-garde, and women's presses. ABR as a literary journal aims to project the sense of engagement that writers themselves feel about what is being published. It is edited and produced by writers for writers and the general public. The American Book Review is an award-winning, internationally distributed publication specializing in reviews of published works of fiction, poetry, and literary and cultural criticism from small, regional, university, ethnic, avant-garde, and women’s presses. For over forty years, ABR has been a staple of the literary world. Founded in 1977 by novelist Ronald Sukenick, ABR was designed to offer a unique model for reviewing books, one edited by writers themselves in an effort to reproduce the interest they took in their peers’ works of fiction, poetry, and criticism. This collective approach remained intact while responsibility for producing the journal was assumed by the University of Colorado at Boulder in 1987, by Illinois State University from 1995 to 2006, and by the University of Houston-Victoria from 2007 to 2021. ABR is now edited at the University of Houston-Victoria and published by University of Nebraska Press. Dr. Jeffrey R. Di Leo is the current Editor-in-Chief. Subscriptions are available through the University of Nebraska Press. abr@americanbookreview.org
