R2: Rice Review
Rice University’s undergraduate literary magazine
Mission
R2: The Rice Review is the award-winning literary journal of Rice University. We publish the best poetry, prose, and art produced by Rice undergraduate students, as well as interviews with renowned authors. We also hope to foster a creative writing environment at Rice by hosting on-campus literary events like Open-Mic Night and off-campus outings to see visiting authors in Houston. The journal was founded in 2004 by creative writing professor and author Justin Cronin and is published once annually, in the spring.

God’s Own Country
By Rita Ajit
"God can do or not do whatever he wants with his son. But this was our Appacha, the only one
we had."
Insomnia
by Karis Lai
"She felt like she had one foot in America
and one foot out."
