Kenyon Review Young Writers' Anthology 2019 by Kenyon Review

courtneyfalling's review

3.0

Okay, so I took this anthology from a KR stockpile without really asking, it's all fine (I hope). I recognized a few names of writers I'd published (Sylvia Nica, Will Leggat, Divya Mehrish, all great) and didn't recognize a majority of the other names, so I thought, Hey, why not check it out. It's a writing workshop anthology, so obviously there's minimal time for revision. I expected interesting ideas over polished pieces, and certainly that's true, though that isn't a critique. It's actually more compelling sometimes to see the writers' thought processes in action, rather than just the final, clean products. Anyway, the kids are alright, y'all.
