D.H. Lawrence returned to Italy in 1927 after a soul-searching journey through Mexico, the American Southwest, Ceylon, Australia, and New Zealand.

Without restricting ourselves to a particular genre, media, or theme, we aim to publish interesting, quality works, and every issue has a unique flavour.
Each of our two General Editors takes ownership of at least one issue per year, acting as the chief editor (or Uber-editor) for a particular issue, and leaves one issue per year open for a Guest Editor to act as Uber-editor. This is just one more way in which Forge celebrates the diversity of contributors while exercising our own unique style, issue by issue.
The Acentos Review publishes poetry, fiction, memoir, interviews, translations and artwork by emerging and established Latina/o writers four times a year. We welcome submissions in English, Spanish, Spanglish and indigenous languages.
