Biographical / Historical

From "Our History" on www.bloomsburyreview.com:

Founded in the late 1970s by Thomas Auer, the Bloomsbury Review grew to become one of the United State's premiere literary review magazines. Reviewers from across the world cover works fiction, nonfiction, and poetry released not only by the biggest names in publishing, but by independent and university presses, as well. The Review often published interviews with established and upcoming writers, as well as occasional poetry selections. The first issue was released in November, 1980; the last, in 2011. Marilyn Auer, Tom's sister, largely led the review after Tom's death in 2003.
