Courant.com reports that Connecticut Review, a literary journal edited by faculty members of the Connecticut State University system, will provide 400 copies of its latest edition to Connecticut-based members of the U.S. Armed Forces stationed overseas. The semiannual journal, published since 1967, includes fiction, plays, translations, creative nonfiction, essays, poetry, artwork, and photography. The concept was initiated with Connecticut Review editors and Shane Matthews, a student who was recently inducted into Golden Key, as part of a larger program to promote world literacy. The books will be donated to Connecticut units deployed overseas, primarily the 411th Civil Affairs Battalion, based in Danbury, that is working to help rebuild the infrastructure in Afghanistan and Iraq.
