Poems That Will Stop You, Beg for Re-Reading, Pull You in Close

My review of Berkeley Poetry Review’s Spring issue just went up on The Review Review! Earlier this year I sent a request to join the ranks of the literary reviewers on their site and this is the second lit mag they’ve sent me to read and write about. Meaning, not only did it give me motivation to read a new lit mag from cover to cover, but I received it for no cost!

Berkeley Poetry Review is currently open for submissions until January 15, 2016. “While we accept great poetry of any kind, we are particularly interested in work that complicates prevailing conceptions of race, gender, ecology, and poetic form itself. Is your work attempting to start a dialogue? To enter into conversation? To push? Send it our way.”

The poems in Berkeley Poetry Review are shaped to be viewed from a distance and then meant for zooming in, for studying each line break, each enjambment, and each punctuation mark to discover its purpose. The poems place themselves in varying ways upon the page, some scattered, some aligned, some moving, and some still.
