History
Founded in 1988 as successor to The Welsh Review (1939–1948), Dock Leaves, and The Anglo-Welsh Review (1949–1988), it publishes articles on literature, theatre, and the arts, as well as interviews, reviews, original short stories, and poetry.

James, Emyr Humphreys, Leslie Norris, Gwyneth Lewis, Les Murray, Rachel Trezise, Niall Griffiths, Owen Sheers, Terry Eagleton, Edna Longley, Byron Rogers, Gillian Clarke and Paul Groves.[http://www.academi.org/publishers/alpha/78/ New Welsh Review entry at Llenyddiaeth Cymru {Literature Wales}]
