Concho River Review was an American literary magazine based in San Angelo, Texas. [1] The magazine was founded by Terry Dalrymple in 1987 [2] [3] and published short stories, poetry, creative nonfiction, interviews, and book reviews. Originally, it focused on Southwestern authors and settings but later diversified its contents, publishing works by authors from across the United States and abroad.
