Lilies and Cannonballs Review (NYC, 2003-2009), more than a journal of belles lettres, was an experiment in print that sought to understand the law of opposites. Each of its six published issues aspired to a synthesis of contraries: aesthetically driven and socially conscious literature and art; traditional and experimental forms; crazy-man conservative and bleeding liberal views.

LCR was founded by Dan Connor (dancconnor.com) in 2003 and was grateful for the support and collaboration of Marc Connor  (marcconnor.com), David Bagnall, and all contributors, subscribers, and donors.

Contributors to LCR came from all over the world and were 90% unsolicited. Critical reception was surprisingly warm, and friendly—even ecstatic—reviews appeared in publications throughout the country. The work published in LCR often received nods of commendation from the Best American anthology series (Essays and Nonrequired Reading) and numerous print publications and Web sites.

LCR was distributed nationally until the demise of its distributor in 2007. It has been indexed, when appropriate, by the MLA International Bibliography and the American Humanities Index. Memberships included the Council of Literary Magazines and Presses (CLMP) and the Council of Editors of Learned Journals (CELJ).

Truly independent, LCR never incorporated as a not-for-profit, took no public funding, tolerated no boards, and bowed to no institution, movement, or polity.

To bend the LCR tagline: We grew it, we kicked it.

Amazing where copies of LCR might turn up, but here are a few places that have stuck with us throughout . . .
