Make a tax-deductible gift to The Kenyon Review today. For over eighty-five years, The KR has been publishing some of the most original and lasting voices in fiction, poetry, essays, and drama.

In recent years, we’ve featured work by some of the literary world’s most influential thinkers and rising stars, such as Solmaz Sharif, Ron Carlson, Amit Majmudar, Carly Phillips, Laura Kasischke, Philip Metres, Javier Zamora, and Paisley Rekdal.

With your support, we’ll continue to print the most exciting voices in literature from ever more diverse, ever more talented communities of authors.

We are so much more than a print journal! Donate today and you’ll help us further enhance our programming and media offerings including:

  • KR’s summer writing programs for adults and young writers
  • The Kenyon Review Reading Series
  • Our newly digitized archive featuring access to everything published in the KR since 1939.

But we can only do this great work with your support. Donate today and help us to continue the literary legacy of The Kenyon Review!
