Sycamore Review

One of my favorite magazines for some time now, the Sycamore Review is a national literary magazine published biannually by the graduate students and faculty of Purdue University, West LaFayette, IN.  Each issue features several pieces of short fiction, some really cool and eclectic graphic artwork, and generally around 10-15 poems (some longer, some shorter). They publish both established writers (such as Sherman Alexie, for example) and unestablished ones, and have in the last few years been known to publish first works by a number of promising young poets.  The magazine also houses the Wabash Poetry Prize, which consists of $1,000  and is awarded twice a year - once for fiction and once for poetry.  This year's poetry judge is Mark Doty (who by the way is reading at KGB Bar this Friday).  The work, in my humble opinion, is always high quality, and is available for free on their website, though I would certainly encourage people to subscribe!
