Welcome to The Iowa Review's web-home for veterans' writing and resources for veteran writers! With war a recurring fixture of U.S. history, there are veterans from previous and current wars who have returned and are still returning every day and wanting to share and process their experiences. We believe the contribution of a literary magazine can be to provide a point of connection between those who want to write about their experience and those who want to read about and understand it. In that spirit, we offer here the full text of all veterans' writing contest winners published in the The Iowa Review.
