"As Poetry Editors, we’re fascinated by works that are intricate, raw, and innovative. In hopes of exploring the new and the familiar, we’re interested in the works that make us feel a combination of resonance and inspiration. If a poem makes us nod and smile or furrow our brows in thought, that’s a piece worth immersing ourselves in time after time."
