In a serendipitous alignment, Exposition Review marked its ten-year anniversary at AWP 2025 in Los Angeles, the same conference where we launched our inaugural issue, Vol. I: “IX Lives,” during AWP 2016. Returning to L.A. for this milestone felt like coming full circle, celebrating a decade of our literary community.

Exposition Review is thrilled that AWP is returning to our home city of Los Angeles the same year we turn 10, and we’d love to celebrate with you!
Will you be heading our way for AWP, March 26–29? If so, let’s party, seltzer-style!
Exposition Review is thrilled to share our latest issue, Vol. IX: “POP!”!
“POP!” is the intersection of tradition and trend. Whether satirizing an overused metaphor in poetry or confronting violence in Gaza, these pieces are made relevant both by their immediacy and because they are rooted in the human experience. It is full of moments that will surprise you, inspire you to think outside of your bubble, or maybe even reference some of your favorite songs.

Exposition Review is thrilled to share our latest issue, Vol. VIII: “Lines”!
This edition explores connection. Between parents and children, artists and fans, friends and lovers, robots and humans. To one’s city and across borders. Via humor and through grief. The lines within this issue are both physical and metaphorical, and throughout—like on our cover specially designed by Kwasi Boyd-Bouldin—illustrate the moments when art intersects reality, when we scrawl over the way the world appears and redesign what is into what could be.

Exposition Review is thrilled to share our latest issue, Vol. VII: “Flux”! This edition captures moments of change—gradual and sudden, subtle and profound, intensely personal and immensely public. Yet time still flows, carrying readers with it through the stages of life, through relationships, through grief, and through art.
The poetry, prose, scripts, and images within these pages play off these themes and each other, speaking to us individually but also talking to each other. As you explore this issue, you’ll find those reverberations within sections, echoes across genres, and perhaps, as we did, resonances in your own life.

Exposition Review is thrilled to debut our latest issue, Vol IV: “Wonder”! This volume is packed with multi-genre goodness, including more experimental narratives than any issue to date.
On Friday, May 3, Exposition Review’s editors, contributors, and community came together to celebrate the issue with our #ExpoPresents: Launch Party & Reading at one of our favorite LA bookstores, Skylight Books. Though this was our fourth issue and the second time we had the pleasure of hosting our launch party at Skylight, it was a night of firsts.
