Harvard and the Little Mag: Why Print Matters in 2026

2026 marks the 40th anniversary of the founding of Erato, a small quarterly magazine of poetry and prose that also publicized Woodberry Poetry Room events. Erato grew into the full-length Harvard Review, publishing poetry, essays, fiction, drama, criticism, book reviews, and interviews.

To celebrate the magazine’s 40 years on campus, join Harvard Review editor Christina Thompson and deputy editor Chloe Garcia Roberts in conversation with the editors of two new local little mags: Harvard undergraduate Hengzhi Huang Yang of House House and Bella Bennett and James Fraser of Duck. Q&A and an opportunity to browse these and other Boston-area literary magazines will follow.
