Western Humanities Review has been in continuous publication since 1947 and has featured work by some of America's most distinct voices: Wallace Stegner, Robert Oppenheimer, Ursula Le Guin, Raymond Carver and many more.

We continue to seek fresh and original works of fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction and literary scholarship. Work first published in the WHR has been reprinted or cited in the Pushcart Prize Anthology, the O. Henry Prize, Best American Short Stories, Essays, and Poetry.
