Month: June 2018

And with experience comes perspective. Writing a new post for every new issue has begun to feel token and redundant – if you’re here, you know what you’re here for. Starting next month, the blog section will quiet down, updating only with major news or relevant, substantial thoughts concerning the journal.

However, for old times’ sake:
Kristin Garth returns to the Featured Poet throne with her poem The Lady Who Loved Lightning. Kristin was on a literary bent with this submission, and I hope you enjoy the various references employed. I hope you enjoy her and the rest of the talented poets in this issue.

Congratulations to this month’s featured poet, Suzanne Osborne! It’s been a fun year(!!) of reading everyone’s work. Every poet’s bio has been a treasure trove of great new places to read poetry. This month I was happy to discover Leveler, a site with a beautiful clean design and great concept. Ever wonder exactly why the editors chose your work (or someone else’s)? Head over there and maybe ping their submissions inbox. I’d like to note that from here out I will require biographical statements to strictly adhere to a 50-word limit, so please make note of that in the submissions guidelines.
