The mission of The Hopkins Review is to publish today’s vital voices and visions in literature, culture, criticism, public-facing scholarship, and the arts. We celebrate our 17th year of continuous publishing with a commitment to creative excellence and its dynamic, diverse, and inclusive present and future. _The Hopkins Review _is a partnership between two venerable literary entities, the Writing Seminars at Johns Hopkins University (the country’s second-oldest degree-granting creative writing program, est. 1947) and the Johns Hopkins University Press (the country’s oldest continuously running university press, est. 1878). Curated by editor in chief Dora Malech, fiction editor Danielle Evans, and an editorial staff of talented emerging writers honing their own craft in the Writing Seminars, _The Hopkins Review _endeavors to feature a unique blend of tradition and innovation reflective of both its deep roots and vibrant intergenerational team. We strive to bring the international, national, and local together under one cover, engaging international voices and conversations alongside our nation’s most exciting established and emerging writers and platforming the rich artistic and literary community of our home city of Baltimore on that same global stage. We believe in building a local, national, and international community of readers that connects and coheres around a shared love of literature and culture.
THR's15th anniversary redesign won the Phoenix Award for Editorial and Design Achievement from the Council of Editors of Learned Journals. Since the redesign, each four-issue volume features the work of a Baltimore-affiliated cover artist; Volume 17's featured cover artist is award-winning photographer and writer Gioncarlo Valentine. He was born and raised in Baltimore City and went to school at Towson University. He is the subject of the new short film “Gioncarlo Valentine: Exposures” directed by Zeshawn Ali and produced by Sarah Ema Friedland, part of the In the Making series from PBS American Masters and Firelight Media.
