A Review of Fiction, Poetry,
and Creative Nonfiction

River Oak Review, founded by Etta L. Worthington, has featured compelling, accessible work by both established and emerging writers. In past issues, we have published writers such as Billy Collins, Kathleen Norris, Virgil Suarez, Jim Elledge, Eric Pankey, Philip Dacey, Maureen Seaton, Gaylord Brewer, Carol Hamilton, B. Z. Niditch, Wendy Bishop, Robin Becker, Fredrick Zydek, and others. River Oak Review and the writers it has published have won numerous awards since its founding. In December 2003, the Review's parent organization, River Oak Arts, ceased operations, and the Review moved to its new home at Elmhurst College.

River Oak Review is partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency, and from the Coleman Foundation grant at Elmhurst College.
