Literary Review Wins National Magazine Prize
The 2022 edition of the Lewis & Clark Literary Review, now called the Palatine Hill Review, won the Association of Writers & Writing Programs 2023 National Program Directors’ Prize for Content and a $1,000 cash award.
The 2023 award was selected by DeMisty D. Bellinger-Delfeld, an associate professor of English studies at Fitchburg State University, who applauded the edition’s “powerful poems and moving prose” and marveled that most of the content was written by undergraduate students.
The Review’s leadership team included Eve March BA ’22, Jillian Jackson BA ’23, AJ Di Nicola BA ’24, Elizabeth Huntley BA ’25, and Alina Cruz BA ’25, who assembled the collection as a labor of love over the course of the 2021–22 academic year.
Published annually and run entirely by L&C students, the Literary Review provides creative writers and artists with direct experience in generating submis- sions and laying out a magazine, culminating in an edition with poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and visual art.
