SUMMER 2023

At July 4th, two months of marvelous weather more like San Francisco than New York have concluded with the usual high heat, humidity, thunderstorms, and the stink of fires from Canada's mismanaged forests.  Summer in New York -- can't leave it, so we'll try to love it again.

Poems this month are from C.B. Anderson, Bruce Bennett, Sally Cook, Steven Duplij, Claudia Gary, Arthur Mortensen, Carolyn Raphael, Jennifer Reeser, Joseph S. Salemi, Jan Schreiber, Charles Southerland, Frederick Turner.  Dr. Salemi, in addition to new poems, offers an essay on unreasonable expectations.

Poetry:  Select to see new and past postings.

Essays:  Joseph S. Salemi's essay "Let's Go Up Into Outer Space"; Steven Duplij on "The Cramp of Time",  and a reprint of Arthur Mortensen's 2002 "Noble Lie: Reflections On Narrative And Nonsense" 

Note:  Starting with this release, older poems for many of the contributors have been put into their personal archives. Each personal archive is linked to the end of each contributor's personal page.

Reviews:  From Trinacria, Arthur Mortensen's "Looking Back At Edwin Morgan"

Archives:  Divided into two sections, New and Old.   

Online Prosody:  As of now this will remain in the Old archives until editing and rewrite are complete. 

Contributions are by assignment, as we do not have the resources to manage online submissions.
