The Rev is a student-run literary journal, formerly known as The Russell Sage Review.
For the fourth year in a row, The Rev is being produced in collaboration with young people at CreativityUnleashed, a not-for-profit arts organization in London.
The Rev is also published in partnership with the Russell Sage English, Writing and Culture program. EWC is an innovative program in which students engage with diverse literatures and cultures, learn about the ways that writing shapes the world, and develop their own powerful voices. For more information, check out the EWC program details here.
The Rev is also supported by the Sage libraries and funded by Russell Sage College’s Carol Ann Donahue Endowed Fund.
Submissions for 2024 Now Open!
All members of the Sage community, including faculty, staff, alumni, and current students on both the Albany and Troy campuses, are invited to submit to our yearly literary and creative arts magazine. The closing date for submissions is November 29, 2023, at midnight. If you have any questions, email Professor Angie Smith at [email protected].

The Rev 2023

Read the 2023 edition of The Rev here.
What a year we’ve had over here at Russell Sage College in Troy, New York. While the world returned to a sort of normal post pandemic, our creatives have been very busy. After many weeks of creative arts workshops and reviewing an incredible collection of submissions from our community, we are very excited to present this year’s offering of creative content. Inside these pages you will find voices from our community here in upstate New York and also from our partners in London, UK. This includes our students, staff and faculty here at Sage but also the young people from CreativityUnleashed. This is why there is a mix of British and American English.
Inside these pages you can enjoy a wide range of creativity including: poetry, flash fiction, non-fiction, photography, painting, digital artwork, drawings and more. The selection process was driven by the mission to integrate as many diverse voices as possible, focusing in on what our communities are celebrating, what they are mourning and what they are hoping for in the future.
Many thanks to local poet Carol Durant and local theatre director Jean-Remy Monnay for inspiring us this year with stories of their creative processes and advice regarding how to integrate a creative lifestyle in a post-pandemic world. Also, we’d like to thank Mark Mathews from Bluekite Creative for the design of our magazine and also for the work experience opportunities afforded to our design students.
