The students and faculty of Old Dominion University’s MFA program in Creative Writing form a lively and supportive community of writers in beautiful southeastern Virginia. The Tidewater region’s story is shaped by its history and its diversity—by its dynamic fusion of old and new. There is great complexity in any form or creative assertion of “here,” and it is in this spirit that Barely South Review embraces the opportunity to feature works from emerging as well as established writers. We are interested in great writing in its myriad forms. We seek to present many voices, especially those that defy easy regional, thematic, and stylistic categorization.

In the months since our January issue, we’ve retooled our workflow to allow us to move to a more traditional page-based format, and this April brings our inaugural PDF issue, which you may access through the flash-based reader here on our site, by downloading the PDF directly, or—for those of you with iPads—by using the direct link to Issuu.
In redesigning the site, we’ve attempted to get unnecessary interface and distractions out of your way. We hope you find the new BSR portable and pleasant to read.
