Editors from River Styx

River Styx began in the early 1970's when a group of poets and musicians began gathering together in St. Louis. Since then, the magazine has bloomed into an international, award-winning journal of poetry, fiction, essays, interviews and art.

The magazine has consistently been one of the first to publish some of the most important writers of our time, from U.S. Poet Laureates, Howard Nemerov, Mona Van Duyn, Rita Dove, and Robert Hass. River Styx also has published Pulitzer Prize-Winners such as Yusef Komunyakaa, to Nobel Laureates, Derek Walcott and Czeslaw Milosz. River Styx prides itself as “lively, compelling, humorous, casual, formal, diverse, exciting, and, after 25 years, still fresh.” Bios for several of the magazine's editors are posted at the magazine's Web site.
