Review Revue?
In response to the growing critical dialogues about the
Language, post-lyric, and fractal poetries, we are proud
to announce a new tabloid of prosody essays, reviews
and interviews focused on the various forms of lyric
poetry, written for and by poets.
Review Revue's mission is to facilitate a greater
discussion about the possibilities of lyricism, and to
engage poets of all generations into the dialogue. We're
proud to have featured established poets such as Shara
McCallum, William Heyen and Sean Thomas
Dougherty, and up-and-coming poets such as Sarah
Rose Exoo and Teresa Petro. We're also excited to have
published forums remembering Donald Justice and
celebrating small press editors, have featured essays by
Stephen Dunn, Annie Finch, and Kurt Brown, and
published interviews with Lucille Clifton and David St.
John among others.
A triquarterly publication, Review Revue is always
looking for new reviews, essays and interviews; we
accept electronic submissions and encourage unsolicited
reviews and interviews. Included on this site is a list of
books we'd like to see reviewed. We also don't want the
dialogue to end with what's published on our pages; we
want it to begin there. Respond to what you read in RR
for the forums page that will begin with issue two--send
us a letter or an email.
Several of our back issues are on-line. Look for .pdf files
of our earlier issues. If you like what you see, consider
subscribing.
Lastly, we want to be user friendly: check out our
subscription rates for classroom use information.
