The department of English at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee has earned a national reputation because of its commitment to exploring innovative alternatives in English studies. Through its structure of concentrations and course offerings, the Department promotes original approaches to a broad range of topics in literature, language, writing, and visual culture. Founded in 1975, The Cream City Review is published twice yearly and is produced entirely by students in the Creative Writing Program. TCCR offers our students practical, hands-on experience in all facets of publishing, from reviewing manuscripts to managing finances.
