Court Green

 

There is joy at Columbia College Chicago; a joy based on the love of film, the love of funky 70s cover design style, and most of all, a joy based on the love of poetry. Court Green is a playful, whimsical, and ultimately very scholarly magazine of contemporary poetry, exploring the ways we communicate our passions and our triumphs. With themed and unthemed work in every issue, this relatively new magazine is exploring the world of contemporary poetry and finding numerous reasons to keep reading and writing.--JP
