Dear Readers and Contributors,
I will keep this short. If you haven’t heard yet, I am ‘retiring’ next year! I have been quite burnt out ever since my dad passed away last year, but I am hanging in there.
After this issue, I will be completing 3 more: the summer issue (which is already determined), a special visual poetry issue for the fall (please submit your visual poems), and an upcoming special Indiana themed issue for my last in 2027 (my 10 year anniversary)!
Guidelines about the Indiana issue are forthcoming, as well as an announcement about the new editor! Stay tuned…
In the meantime, please enjoy another spectacular issue of this journal, just in time for the very last moment of National Poetry Month! And be sure to read my conversation with the wonderfully talented Mary Ardery.
Take care,
Natalie Solmer
