Our Beginnings

Sycamore Review published its first issue nearly 25 years ago. That first issue was dedicated to Ann Griffith Lindsey, a Purdue University graduate student and poet who had campaigned for a literary journal, but died in a car accident before her dream could become reality. To this day, her parents have continued her dream with a generous bequest in Ann’s name. To learn more about Ann and to read some of her poetry, click here.
