The Windsor Review is a bi-annual journal[1] publishing new and established contemporary literary fiction, non-fiction interviews and poetry, as well as visual artists from Canada and around the world. It was established in 1965 by Eugene McNamara,[2][3] and was originally named University of Windsor Journal.[4] The Windsor Review is one of Canada's oldest continuously published literary magazines, celebrating its 50th year in 2015.

The Windsor Review was founded in January 1965[5] and has evolved into an internationally recognized literary and arts focused journal. Each year, themed issues are created; recent themes have been home, prophecy, sports, and filth.[6] It is based at the University of Windsor in Windsor, Canada.
