We have archived Issue 30 of Rochford Street Review and it is now available, along the all other issues stretching back to 2011, at https://rochfordstreetreview.com/ index/.
Issue 30 has been something of a milestone for us:
- 30 Issues of an independent, unfunded literary journal is quite an achievement
- We passed a quarter of a million page views
- We posted our 1,000th review/launch speech/artist statements/poetry
November/December this year will see our 10th birthday so stick around and see what we have in store.
