Rufous City Review is a coalescing of music, passion, whimsy, expression, truth, obsession, and art. The people involved are selfish enough to demand a place for all of these heavy realities and altruistic enough to provide a passageway...at least they’d like to think so. Here, industry encounters raw earth and the landscape is Rufous City. We invite you to lay down some roots.
Founding Editor: Jessica Bixel lives in the liminal space between Michigan and Ohio, writing and working and scheming to get a puppy in a “No Pets Allowed” apartment complex.
Associate Editor: Brittany Balyeat is an aspiring music journalist with an appreciation for the strange and lyrical. Sometimes she gets to meet musicians on sidewalks.
Fiction Editor: Paul Morin is a baker of breads, a maker of wines, and a writer of fictions. He hopes to one day learn to cartwheel without breaking something and to own a cat that weighs more than 30 lbs.
Poetry Editor: Anna Rose Welch has work appearing or forthcoming in Barrow Street, Crab Orchard Review, Guernica, Linebreak, The Journal, Tupelo Quarterly, Gingerbread House, and Ruminate. When she's not writing (aka watching her feral cat colony play on her back porch) she works as an associate editor for several pharmaceutical industry publications and attempts to bring the masses to tears with her rendition of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on the violin.
