What should I read next? It’s a question we all ask ourselves time and again. Even with the countless stories, poems, essays, scripts, art, comics, and films to discover, to fall in love with or to detest, it can be a challenge to choose. Enter Expo Recommends, a curated selection of readings brought to you by the editors of Exposition Review.
Meanwhile, Expo is in the midst of our 2026 annual issue submission season. For Vol. XI, our editors chose the theme “PARA/SOCIAL,” inviting work that traces the edges of intimacy and illusion, seeking longing projected across distance, the distortions of connection, and the gifts of being alongside—with or without perception and recognition.

And when you buy your copies of the books from our Bookshop, Exposition Review gets a cut!

For Vol. X, our editors chose the theme “Spring,” seeking stories that well from the imagination, language that leaps off the page, writing that’s liberated from the constraints of genre and crackles with the energy of a spring storm.
