SHENANDOAH

For over half a century Shenandoah has been publishing splendid poems, stories, essays and reviews which display passionate understanding, formal accomplishment and serious mischief. Founded in 1950 by a group of Washington and Lee University faculty and students, Shenandoah has achieved a wide reputation as one of the country's premier literary quarterlies. Work from the magazine's pages has appeared in Best American Short Stories, Best American Poems, Best American Essays, Best American Spiritual Writing, The O'Henry Prize, New Stories from the South and The Pushcart Prize, as well as numerous other anthologies and quite literally thousands of collections by the original authors. Recent issues have featured Pulitzer winners Natasha Trethewey, Claudia Emerson and Ted Kooser, as well as fiction by James Lee Burke, George Singleton, Alyson Hagy, Chris Offutt, Bret Anthony Johnston and Pam Durban. From the cover art to the Editor's Note, Shenandoah consistently delights, surprises, and inspires. -- Claudia Emerson 2005 Pulitzer Prize winner for poetry The work of language deserves our greatest care, for the tongue’s fire may devour the world, or may light the way. -- from Scott Russell Sanders’ “Amos and James” Shenandoah 45/3 ___________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ANNUAL PRIZES: THE GOODHEART PRIZE FOR FICTION, $1,000; THE JAMES BOATWRIGHT III PRIZE FOR POETRY, $1000; THE THOMAS H.
