The premier issue features:

An interview with and several recent poems by the truly great Rae Armantrout,

Several poems by the Palestinian poet Marwan Makhoul,

Poetry by South Asian – American poet Sophia Naz,

Poetry by Egyptian poet, Amirah Al Wassif,

Filipino poetDennis Andrew S. Aguinaldo,

Two wonderful Irish poets, Séamus Duggan and Steve Denehan.

Peter Mladinic gives a stunning review of Resurrection River in his piece The Five Senses.

There are still three pieces by yours truly, a poem, a food and dining piece, as well as a political look at A Christmas Carol, and a review of the Alice Yang translation of Julien Gracq’sAbounding Freedom though in future issues, I expect to have less and less Anthony Watkins content and showcase even more amazing writers.

In any case, I would have never expected such a strong launch issue. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Looking ahead to our 2^nd issue, we have already confirmed our interview with Victoria Law, the writer and activist who’s most recent title is Prisons Make Us Safer: And 20 Other Myths about Mass Incarceration, Beacon Press, 2021!

We are always looking for more reviews, poetry, fiction and essays on a wide variety of subjects. Please consider us if you are a writer of any of these types of work.
