Northern new england review
Northern New England Review is a printed literary journal published by Franklin Pierce University – a creative crossroads for writers and artists drawn to the calming charm and vivid vibrance of Vermont, Maine, and New Hampshire.
If you call Northern New England your home, lost or found your heart here, or are soul searching among cedar forests, cold lakes, and rocky coasts, NNER has an abundance of poems, short fiction, and creative nonfiction waiting to be absorbed. NNER is available in the periodical's sections of most public libraries, prisons, and cafés in Vermont, Maine, and New Hampshire – more than 250 locations across northern New England! We are a fully inclusive journal, a proud member of the Community of Literary Magazines and Presses (CLMP) and featured in the notable organization Poetry & Writers.
Our vision is to expand the idea of how a “typical” New England literary magazine appears. This region is more than flannels, maple syrup, birch trees, notorious Nor’easters, and a flawless foliage. We’re seeking the voices that confess, reveal, and illustrate the foreign fragments of Northern New England that are shadowed by the mountains and pines. Give us the grit beneath the granite, the wires that light the lighthouse, the lives blooming under our noses.
We welcome submissions from artists currently living among the mossy floors and mountains of Vermont, Maine, and New Hampshire, as well as those who have seen their reflection in the northern lakes and found a piece of themselves. We invite all submissions to the 46th edition to relate to the region and explore the theme of abundance in this corner of the country – it’s consistencies, contradictions, complexity, calmness. What does abundance mean to you?
