For over half a century Shenandoah has been publishing splendid poems, stories, essays and reviews which display passionate understanding, formal accomplishment and serious mischief.
Founded in 1950 by a group of Washington and Lee
University faculty and students, Shenandoah has achieved a wide
reputation as one of the country's premier literary quarterlies.
Work from the magazine's pages has appeared in Best American Short
Stories, Best American Poems, Best American Essays, Best American
Spiritual Writing, The O'Henry Prize, New Stories from the South and
The Pushcart Prize, as well as numerous other anthologies and
quite literally thousands of collections by the original authors. Recent
issues have featured Pulitzer winners Natasha Trethewey, Claudia Emerson
and Ted Kooser, as well as fiction by James Lee Burke, George Singleton,
Alyson Hagy, Chris Offutt, Bret Anthony Johnston and Pam Durban.
SHENANDOAH is recipient of a
Governor's Award for the Arts for 2008
From the cover art to the
Editor's Note, Shenandoah consistently delights, surprises, and
inspires.

The work of language deserves our greatest care, for the tongue’s fire may devour the world, or may light the way.
