And we have another exciting announcement. Starting this Wednesday, TMR will be open for poetry submissions! Our excellent new poetry editor will be overseeing the section. We’ve been firing on all cylinders with fiction editor and now we will bring that same energy to poetry. Submit to poetry@metropolitanreview.com.

Soon — very soon — we’ll finally be able to share details on our first print issue and the accompanying launch party. The party is going to be a big one.

As a reminder, all annual pledges to The Metropolitan Review automatically receive a print subscription! That’s only $80, which is what many people pay for a single Substack. We’re giving you a whole publication for that figure. We also ship internationally. The subscription cash goes directly to our writers. We really can’t survive without your help.

We’ll be back soon with more fantastic writing. The future of literary culture is here and we’re so thrilled to have your readership.
