“The current double issue of Mid-American
Review, the literary magazine published by the creative writing program
at Bowling Green State University,
is a celebration of Ohio’s
bicentennial. The editors remind readers that among the writers who called
the Buckeye State home were Sherwood Anderson,
Hart Crane, O. Henry, John Crowe Ransom, and James Wright. Adding to the
distinguished list, the Mid-American Review offers 357 pages of work by
writers who have lived and written in Ohio—Rita
Dove, Elton Glaser, John Kinsella, and Martin Lammon among them.” –Poets & Writers, July/August 2003
