I am so excited to have my found poem “Sonnet Zero” published the beautiful print and online issues of Noctua Review (I mean, look at that cover art!).
“Noctua Review is the annual art and literary magazine produced by the Southern Connecticut State University MFA program. It was the brain child of Graduate Student (now Professor) Lois Lake Church and launched its inaugural issue in 2008.”
It’s always incredible to have a found poem published by a literary journal who appreciates the process of creating found poetry.
Issue IX is available online here. My poem is on pg. 45 in the online issue (or click the image below to zoom in).

The best news is, not only is it free to submit to Noctua Review, they are currently running a FREE contest!

Congratulations, Tricia! Well done!
And thank you again and again for your inspiration and information each morning. I look forward to receiving your blog.
Thank you! And you are welcome!
I can’t fathom managing found poetry into a sonnet. Kudos. Kudos covered in the sweetest of chocolate. With a caramel cream center.
It was not the easiest challenge, that’s for sure, but it was definitely rewarding. Thanks for reading and commenting!
