The Tusculum Review is one of only a few international literary journals that involves undergraduate students in our editorial work. We believe this cultivation of literary community across generations is a crucial tread in their path to becoming important writers and publishers. Justin Phillip Reed (’13) worked on the review as an undergraduate and in 2018 won the National Book Award for Indecency, his second book of poems. Since then, he has published his third poetry collection, The Malevolent Volume, and the essay collection With Bloom Upon Them and Also With Blood: A Horror Miscellany. Nepali student Anup Kaphle (’08) leaped from editing Tusculum’s student newspaper and the first two volumes of The Tusculum Review to studying at the Columbia School of Journalism and working for The Atlantic, The Washington Post, and Buzzfeed News. He served as editor-in-chief of The Kathmandu Post and is now editor-in-chief of Rest of World. Joseph Borden (’14) began his career in editing & publishing immediately upon graduation from Tusculum and is now Senior Book Editor for Fox Chapel Publishing.
