For nearly sixty years, Sou’wester has published poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction from writers at all stages in their careers. We currently print one annual issue. Our next issue, devoted to prose, is expected to be released in May 2021
The editors of Sou’wester have examined past issues and acknowledge the lack of diverse writers and stories. We understand how this feeds into gatekeeping and silencing. We are committed to investing in and encouraging the words/stories/voices of all writers, prioritizing those belonging to marginalized communities.
Sou’wester is housed at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. It is a collaborate effort of SIUE faculty and SIUE MA and MFA students.
