History
Free State Review was founded in 2012 by Hal Burdett, J. Wesley Clark, and Barrett Warner. Free State Review began as a way to combine the writers in the region who shared a dream about life: "Writers who smelled of seawater, writers who had metal parts and others scented by chlorine or mud."[3] Initially, submissions were generated by word of mouth until its website was launched in 2013. The first issued, which came out in 2013, featured a painting by Pulitzer prize winning poet Mark Strand.[4]
The motto is "Totally Limited Omniscience," with the tip from the editor being that "Strange is not always better. Simple and clear are not always memorable."[5] Barrett Warner, the general editor, describes how "Every issue of Free State Review is a dream that two dozen people around the country are having at once. Our editorial focus is more like a fog. We're listening for a certain conversation with different voices, some mysterious restless shape forming out of the haunt. Our writers have seen and felt something whose third and fourth dimensions are only possible to reveal with language. We're not tearing down walls with sledge hammers. We're trying to learn how to walk right through them."[6]
