The editor, Shawn Pittard will begin making his selections for the new issue.

2024 chapbook contest; Standing in the River, the winner of Tebot Bach’s 2010

Clockwise Chapbook Competition; and These Rivers from Rattlesnake Press.

His poems have been featured at American Life in Poetry and nominated for a

Pushcart Prize. He’s been a coach for Poetry Out Loud and a California Poet in

the Schools, taught recitation and writing in middle schools and high schools,

\including juvenile hall (yep, they’re good kids), as well as with veterans and

the men in Folsom Prison. By day, he labored in the field of environmental

protection, planning, and public policy, focusing on energy.

​

Tule Review publishes once a year. The journal showcases new & established

writers from the region as well as across the nation. The staff has nominated

several of its published poets for the Pushcart Prize. The journal, founded in

1993 by Patrick Grizzell, Mary Zeppa & Julia Connor, premiered as a tabloid publication.

 

Over the years, the format has changed, but Tule has maintained its commitment to publishing work representative of high standards of the literary arts. Absent for a few years, it returned in 2023 under the capable editorship Susan Kelly-DeWitt.
