"The St. Austin Review (StAR) is the premier international journal of Catholic culture, literature, and ideas. In its pages, printed every two months, some of the brightest and most vigorous minds around meet to explore the people, ideas, movements, and events that shape and misshape our world.
Contributors to StAR are poets, philosophers, artists, theologians, historians, and journalists, together giving StAR the breadth and depth necessary for its “unique and worthwhile project” (Karl Keating). Its editors are Joseph Pearce (Literary Converts, Wisdom and Innocence) and Robert Asch."
This came about by chance through being in touch with Joseph Pearce again over Christmas. Joseph is is the author of numerous acclaimed biographies of major Catholic literary figures. He is also Writer in Residence and Professor of Literature at Ave Maria University in Florida, Editor-in-Chief of Ave Maria University Communications and Sapientia Press, as well as Co-Editor of the The Saint Austin Review (or StAR). That's from the official blurb but he also has a fascinating history in the story of his conversion from being an active member of the National Front to becoming a Catholic through the inspiration of G.K. Chesterton. He's also just the sort of committed Catholic the Church could do with more of and, perhaps even more importantly, a great guy to go for a pint with!
