Critic Reviews
“Praise for the 2019 edition:Such is the strength of anthologies and literary journals: they can poke your skinand make you feel things reading these poems I got sad, I laughed out loud andI got lost in trains of thought. Not everything hooked me but there is superlativepoetry on offer. It was just what I needed. Paula Green, Poetry Shelf”
