History
Free State Review was founded in 2012 by Hal Burdett, J. Wesley Clark, and Barrett Warner. Initially, submissions were generated by word of mouth until its website launched in 2013. The first issue, which came out in 2013, featured a painting by Pulitzer prize winning poet Mark Strand. The journal's motto is "Totally Limited Omniscience".
