The Rice Review is a student-run literary journal at Rice University committed to publishing the best prose, poetry, creative nonfiction, and occasionals written by undergraduate students, as well as interviews with renowned authors. The journal was founded in 2004 by creative writing professor and author Justin Cronin. Each year R2 gives out awards to those students whose work merits additional recognition.
