New Orleans Review is an international journal of literature, art and ideas that has been published at Loyola University New Orleans since 1968. The founding editor was the poet, Miller Williams; subsequent editors have included Fr. Joseph Tetlow, S.J., Drs. Marcus Smith, Bruce Henricksen and John Mosier, and Mr. John Biguenet, all of Loyola's Department of English.
While the emphasis has shifted from year to year and from editor to editor, NOR has consistently published poetry, fiction, essays (especially on film and literary criticism), interviews with major thinkers and writers, and a book review section. Under the editorship of John Biguenet, a special emphasis was literature in translation.
