The River Guide

Style

The River Journal consists of featured artists and poets along with a variety of columns. We publish a partially themed quarterly journal to ensure a variety of readings for you every issue. There are four general themes rotating through the year with a new focus every issue. The main feature, opinion, and DuK columns follow the theme while poetry and art may or may not depending on the topic. We feature three poets, an artist, and one photographer per publication.

The art and photography is often one piece of a series of the artists work placed in the gallery plus you will find the artists biography or an interview. The featured poetry will have a biography of the poet or an interview and you may find a second poem.

Format

There are three sections to the journal. The first is on top explaining the theme and its focus, a quick look inside, and the announcement of the seasonal challenge. The second section is the body or the mid section of the whole page with the main feature, poetry, art, and photography. The third section is the bottom with the columns and specials. *note: a picture or banner will often bring you some where.
