As part of our efforts to bring quality contemporary literature to our readers and friends, the Missouri Review is proud to announce the availability of downloadable audio files of select readings from our authors. It is a service we hope to build upon in the months and years to come as more content is made available. The audio files will include authors reading their own work as well as professionals reading some of the best stories, poems, and essays published in the Review each year.

At the moment, we offer two means by which one might download our audio files. You will find instructions for each below.
