50th Anniversary Archives

Poems, stories, essays, and artifacts from SHR’s first fifty years in print

We’ve published some of America’s finest writers over the past fifty years, which leaves us with file cabinets full of editorial correspondence, promotional materials, and internal documents chronicling a rich history in publishing. Here, we’ll cull the best pieces from our archives and share them with you—including the poems, stories, and essays from SHR’s past that demand a second life online.
