Mission
The Columbus Review is a nonprofit literary magazine dedicated to publishing raw, experimental, and unconventional poetry, prose, scripts, and satire — especially the weird, urgent work that doesn’t easily fit elsewhere.
Jared Payne is a poet and founder of The Columbus Review.
A graduate of Interlochen Arts Academy’s Theatre program, he is currently studying Philosophy at The Ohio State University. Originally from Hocking Hills, Ohio, his editorial vision is shaped by the belief that essential truths often emerge at the intersection of chaos and order.
