Joseph Cornell: The Man Who Loved Sparrows (Kelsay Books), a collection of poems by Tana Miller and Jan Zlotnik Schmidt These poems are inspired by the life and works of Joseph Cornell, focusing on Cornell’s process, the people in his life, and themes of enclosure vs. transfiguration, memory, desire, loss, and the permanence gained through artistic creation. As one critic noted, the artist was obsessed both with the "ruins" of life and the desire to capture fleeting moments. Purchase your copy of this fantastic chapbook at Kelsay Books! |
CONTRIBUTOR SPOTLIGHT: DEVEN PHILBRICK (ISSUE 12)

Deven Philbrick's debut poetry collection, Snow Drifts, is available now from Spuyten Duyvil Press!
"Philbrick’s beautifully braided music elaborates on that 'way out' tradition of philosophical poets riffing—errantly, unexpectedly—on themes of rupture and rapture, finitude and freedom. With the sensuousness of Nate Mackey, and the lyric acumen of Ed Roberson, this collection augurs something singular, a new way of making meanings crest and slope within the spun drift of possibility." — Zack Finch
