We have arrived again at that special time of year: the time when our favorite local pub is disturbingly packed, when the word “bracket” is overheard in distinctly non-punctuation-related discussions, and when the guys over at Esquire put together lists that include items like “No Brent Musburger” and “Gonzaga.” That’s right, people, it’s March slamdunk-girl-colorMadness (even though it’s April!), and if you think it’s got nothing to do with The Cincinnati Review, think again.

We’re thrilled to report that some literary-minded folks have put together a little Festivus for the Rest of Us, and—thanks to your much-appreciated votes—The Cincinnati Review has made it to the Sweet Sixteen of LitMagMadness. While we chow down a triple-tiered pink and gold birthday cake, head on over to cast your votes!
