Produced by Five Fingers Press, a non-profit organization, Five Fingers Review publishes the best non-commercial writing by emerging and established writers from the United States and abroad. The review supports a wide range of literary tastes and aesthetics. Each annual is organized by a central theme, which is then interpreted by guest editors who select and introduce the work in their section. The editors are chosen for their originality as writers and editors, and for their dedication to literature and visual arts. Five Fingers Review is an annual journal. Each issue is approximately 200 pages and organized around a specific social or aesthetic theme. In the past the journal has presented the following themes: The Neighborhood: Cadences of the Numerous; Skin; Gardens in the Urban Jungle, Darkness: Shade and Shadow; Uncanny Love. Writers we have published include Rafael Campo, Forrest Gander, Fanny Howe, Rosemarie and Keith Waldrop, C.D. Wright, Kathleen Fraser, Peter Gizzi, Lyn Hejinian, Nina Ishrenko, Denise Newman, Elizabeth Robinson, and Leslie Scalapino. Five Fingers Review has also played a major role in bringing translations of the modern Russian avant-garde to the United States. Recently, Five Fingers Press has added a chapbook-publishing project under the logo of Woodland Editions. These 24-30 page books feature work by writers who are previously unpublished in book form and writers who have published only one book. Both poetry and short fiction are published in these hand-bound editions.
