Founded in 2008, San Pedro River Review is a biannual journal of poetry and art named after the river that flows north from the mountains of Sonora, Mexico, into Arizona. We seek an economy of language with keen focus on voice and image. A touch of Lorca’s duende that loves ledges and wounds, Kant’s “crooked timber of humanity.”

We prefer poetry and art set in tactile imagery, with a vividness of local detail: characters, places, and substantive objects. We shy away from the overtly political or environmental. We like a degree of pathos, subtle drama, a touch of Lorca’s “Duende” that loves “ledges and wounds,” and a good use of metaphors and similes. We consider all forms of poetry, including prose poems.

Please read the guidelines on our website carefully. Our spring issues are themed. Fall issues are non-themed.
