A literary journal is an appositive in the sentence. An appositive is a noun that renamed or re-described the previous noun in the sentence. The sentence has the monthly review as the previous noun of the sentence. "A literary journal" re-described or renamed "the monthly review" noun, thus, "A literary" noun is the appositive of the sentence above.
