Poetry Reviews

Phoebe is happy to announce that we will now be reviewing books of poetry on our blog. Although there is limited page space in the journal for such features, we feel it important to participate in and help further the dialogue about poetry, something that our recent entry into the world of blogs allows us to do easily. Our primary focus, like that of the journal itself, will be to give attention to, and create discourse around, books by new(er) writers and small presses, though we won't rule anything out and are open to anything that piques our interest, excites, or confuses. We'll also make an effort to support contributors to our journal, by prioritizing reviews of their work as well as that of the extended conmmunities of publishers and and presses they are inlvolved with.

Expect three to four reviews per month to start, kicking off with Joe Hall's take on David Mutschlecner's newly released Sign (below), as we continue to expand the scope of our reviews over the coming year. If you'd like to consider a book for review, or add us to your mailing list of reviewer's copies, please direct mail to address below. We're excited to be moving forward with this new feature and welcome your thoughts and feedback as it grows and evolves.
