Mission Statement / Editorial Focus
MISSION: Sugar House Review is an independent, 501(c)(3) nonprofit poetry publisher based out of Utah. Our mission is to promote an eclectic range of poets through publishing and live events to build nationally connected literary communities and foster the literary arts in Utah. VALUES: We celebrate the diversity of gender, sexual orientation, sexual identity, race, religion, creed, region, and any other category that informs creativity and identity. We do not celebrate opinions and perspectives that can’t share this celebration. Poetry is an assertion of voice that is strongest when enacted and celebrated by a “teeming nation of nations” (as Walt Whitman described). Submitting work to Sugar House Review is an act of generosity: Sugar House Review is honored that poets submit their work to be considered for publication. Unlike many literary magazines, submissions are read by at least two readers—usually more. We are invested in our contributors and we take their work seriously. Poetry and the literary arts are sacred vehicles through which ideas become conversations. We believe that the transaction between writer and audience, reader and listener, can teach life-affirming habits of patience, empathy, self-awareness, and critical thinking. Sugar House Review is committed to collaborating to achieve its mission statement and to help like-minded organizations and partners to achieve theirs. In the past, we have worked with churches, bookstores, art galleries, advocacy groups, grant makers, coffee shops, schools, universities, individual artists, and other literary projects. We believe that a remarkable variety of exciting things are happening in contemporary poetry. We work to assure this excitement continues by publishing and promoting as wide a range of poets, voices, and styles as possible. We are committed to treating our poets with kindness, professionalism, and just a bit of whimsy to keep things fresh. Our lives center around poetry because we choose that they should. Our intent is that anyone who publishes with us, reads for us, or works with us feels valued throughout the process and is pleased with the results of our relationship.
