'The Round Magazine is a journal of literature and the arts based at Brown University. The publication includes poetry, fiction, translation, critical essays, and visual art and seeks submissions from both published and unpublished writers...Inspired by the Literary Philosopher Kenneth Burke's metaphor of literature as an ongoing conversation, The Round aims to restore this conversation in the literary world today. By restoring this relationship between reader and writer, we may also restore reverence for the written word' - Editors' note http://theroundmagazine.blogspot.com.au/
