About The Magazine

Literary Legacy

Re:AL Regarding Arts & Letters was founded in 1968. Over the following decades, we expanded into an international literary magazine dedicated to publishing contemporary fiction, poetry, and nonfiction.

Re:AL has published professional writers from all across the United States, as well as from Australia, China, Canada, England, and Palestine. Past contributors include writers like Kim Addonizio, Carol Hamilton and Larry Thomas (the poets laureate of Oklahoma and Texas), Mark Wisinewski, Ryan G. Van Cleave, Katrina Denza, Edmund de Chasca, Roy Kesey, and Joe R. Lansdale.

Reinvigoration and Revival

The Nouveau Re:AL editorial team has brought Re:AL back to life fully online while keeping its core mission intact—showcasing exceptional creative writing from emerging and established voices.

Nouveau Re:AL is housed in Stephen F. Austin State University’s Department of English and Creative Writing, home of Texas’s first B.F.A. in Creative Writing..
