Literary Magazine Reviews

Below are a few places to review for...how to write a review of a literary journal, including examples of how to cite lines. However, there are some different expectations and considerations for you when citing lines within the MLA, academic format. For instance, you will need to incorporate line(s) citation and you may want to save space in your essay by citing 2-3 lines using the / to indicate linebreaks or // to indicate stanza breaks. Also, you will not want to drop quotes, just like in any other college essay.

Line break example:  "Let us go then, you and I, / When the evening is spread out against the sky /

• from TS Eliot's "The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock"

Stanza break example:  "...fearing the chronic angers of that house, / / Speaking indifferently to him,"

• from Robert Hayden's "Those Winter Sundays"
