Introduction to Poetry, Issue 68
I love when a slate of poems organically work together. This collection of poems—from first time published poets to award winning poets and writers—explore our great expanse: from the outer reaches of galaxies to the inner universe of the heart. Please enjoy the work of these fabulous poets: Katherine Inskip, Ann Schwader, Frank Hoffmann, Christina Sng, Clay Johnson, Maya Chhabra, Ann Thornfield-Long. The accompanying artwork has been selected and produced by yours truly.
