Welcome Message || About TVBR

Greetings

Welcome to the official homepage of The Vincent Brothers Review. Now in its sixteenth year of publication, TVBR was created in July 1988 with the mission to broaden the audience for contemporary creative writing and the graphic arts via the publication of two magazine issues per year. Six months later, TVBR published its first issue, a 32-page, all-poetry edition featuring works by Lyn Lifshin, Kate Harkins, Gary Pacernick, Herbert Woodward Martin, Bob Moore, and Jonathan Levant. Since then, our issues have grown to average 160 pages and include essays, fiction, novel excerpts, book reviews, literary nonfiction, and even vegetarian recipes! Our magazine has grown, our circulation expanded, and our submissions increased—to an average of 15-20 per day—but our staff remains small and dedicated, our mission simple: to celebrate art and the written word.

To that end, The Vincent Brothers Company has its hands full with a number of exciting projects, including the release of Deanna Pickard’s second poetry collection, Lose Them If You Can, and a forthcoming anthology of poems inspired by works at the Dayton Art Institute.

Here at The Vincent Brothers Review Online you can read author biographies and sample works from the TVBR contributors, check out our calendar of upcoming events, find out about the next TVBR Benefit Party, and even find dancing kittens at our Links page. Interested in reading The Vincent Brothers Review? Visit The Vincent Brothers Company Online Bookstore. Have a poem, story, essay, or artwork you’d like to share? See our Submission Guidelines.

Please check back often for updates. We’re hoping that the website will grow, expand, and take off as rapidly as the magazine, and we’ve got a number of plans in store, including many more sample works and even exclusive online content. In the meantime, thanks for visiting.
