The first issue will come out at the end of June, 2001. I am looking for good, hearty poems that utilize the entire spectrum of written language to communicate solid ideas, descriptions, and narratives. The purpose of this journal will be to show the reader that while there is an art to poetry, there is also craft involved. I am looking for well-built poems that inspire the human affinity for order, symmetry, color, and warmth.
Inspiration often results in a good poem.
Inspiration combined with hard work, listening, reading, writing, speaking will always produce a good poem, and often a great one. Those are the poems I am looking for. No victims, lost loves, sentimentalists or whiners need apply. The only requirement, as they say, is excellence. I will accept submissions by snail mail only to the address below.
