Crazyhorse was founded in 1960 by the poet Tom McGrath. Since that time, it has published some of the most important writers of the last half century, including John Updike, Raymond Carver, Jorie Graham, John Ashbery, Robert Bly, Ha Jin, W. P. Kinsella, Richard Wilbur, James Wright, Carolyn Forché, Charles Simic, Charles Wright, Billy Collins, Galway Kinnell, James Tate, and Franz Wright, to name only a few. In our pages, you’ll find some of the finest writing being published today: Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winners, Guggenheim fellows, NEA fellowship recipients, and authors with awards from the O. Henry Prize, Pushcart Prize, and Best American anthologies.

Most recently, Richard Jackson’s poem “Cain’s Legacy,” from Crazyhorse 62, won a 2004 Pushcart Prize. Dinty W. Moore’s essay “Son of Mr. Green Jeans,” from Crazyhorse 63, was reprinted in the January 2004 Harper’s Magazine.
