Housed at the University of Wisconsin – Fox Valley and published annually since 1974, Fox Cry Review is one of the oldest literary magazines at a two-year college. Today, Fox Cry Review enjoys a statewide reputation for quality. While this reputation led to its inclusion in the Wisconsin Publishers’ Showcase at the 2005 Wisconsin Book Festival, the magazine’s principal value derives from its consistent ability to attract work from talented regional and national writers. Numerous writers with national reputations have also been published in Fox Cry Review, including Abby Frucht, Virgil Suárez, Ryan G. Van Cleave, Simon Perchik, and Antler. In addition, the magazine has published work by former poets laureate of three states: Mary Crow, Colorado; Walt McDonald, Texas; and Ellen Kort, Wisconsin.
