As the 'about' page on their website states, "With its multitude of cultures, Los Angeles roils at the center of the cauldron of divergent literature emerging from the West Coast. " Established in 2003 by the editors at Ren Hen Press, The Los Angeles Review aims to publish literature that is representative both of the west coast and of the nation at large. The journal publishes work from established and emerging writers alike, some who have published books with Ren Hen (such as Charles Harper Webb in issue 5), some who have not published with Ren Hen, and others who have yet to publish a full-length collection at all (For example, my friend David Harrity published work in the most recent issue). Aside from a fairly large amount of poetry, they generally publish 4-5 pieces of non-fiction, 5-10 pieces of fiction, and a small number of reviews and translations. Young amongst our nation's journals, this is definitely one to check out - plus, last time I was at Book Culture (on Broadway and 112th) they had a few copies on the shelf!
