I just got my contributor’s copies of Poetry East. I have three poems in this issue. It’s a beautiful issue and I’m pleased with the way they presented my poems. I’ve always liked and respected Poetry East. It’s a journal that seems to have an independent spirit, and always has an interesting and lively variety of poetry in it. They tend to avoid the currently-trendy stuff and they publish mostly a lot of unknown poets such as myself (the only other poets in this current issue whose work I’ve seen before are Alberto Rios and Maura Stanton) but they can always be counted on to produce something really good and well worth reading. So to me it’s quite an honor to have my poems published in this journal.
