 Ontario Review Press -- About The Review
Conceived of as a North American Journal of the Arts, it was intended to bridge what Joyce and I, Americans teaching in Canada at the time, felt to be a widening gap between the two literary/artistic cultures.
Literary journals like Epoch, Kenyon Review, and Southern Review were of great importance in nourishing Joyce's incipient career as an author in the sixties, and she and I have always seen the nurturing role as a function of our journal.
Stories and poems appearing in the Review are regularly chosen for national anthologies of the best fiction and poetry published each year.

"[Kenyon's] characters are realistic and complicated, her plots are wondrously detailed and beautifully realized, her vision is unique and dead-on startling."
It follows the story of several characters on a planet that terraforming has failed on and their journey's, trial's and tribulation's to the excellent conclusion.
I would advise any true reader of Fantasy or Science Fiction to stick with all good authors work (and this author is one of the best there is) because the end result is a very satisfying story and a nagging desire to get to the next story this writer has published.

 erasing clouds book review: jane kenyon, let evening come
Kenyon (1947-1995) wrote throughout her life moving and heart-breaking poems that show her attention for detail.
The world of Eagle Pond Farm, where Kenyon moved with her husband in 1975, is often present in the poems, as the natural world, the outside world, is often used by Kenyon in her works, perhaps as a way to talk about an inner dimension.
In her poems Kenyon often uses Eliot's objective correlative, an object that embodies what she is feeling, like in her poem 'Coats' in which she sees a man coming out of a hospital wearing a coat even though outside is not too cold, and carrying a woman's coat over his arm.

The Kenyon Review has managed to prevail all these years by publishing this acceptable cream of American writing, and this fat volume (440 pages!) is evidence, your honor, of my brief.
In the case of the Kenyon Review, it might have to do with being forced to emit its dim light from the feeble wastes of Godforsaken Gambier, Ohio.
Thus The Kenyon Review and its ilk become not a hothouse of experimental literature but a sinecure for the frumpy literary failures who abound in these departments around the country --- men and women who live in a perpetual Brown Study of ennui, wheezy memories, and desuetude.

In his honor, the Sewanee Review, the oldest of U.S. literary quarterlies, has devoted its entire forthcoming summer number to an estimate of Ransom as poet, critic and teacher.
Ransom, say his admirers in the Sewanee Review, did not try to dominate; he attained more enduring effects by the example of his intellectual decorum, the flavor of his conversation, the elegance of his craft.
At Kenyon he became professor of poetry, gathered another galaxy of bright lights around him,* and in 1939 founded the Kenyon Review, one of the most distinguished of U.S. little magazines.
