small town

 

There's an increasing shortage of good print magazines that consistently feature the diverse poetic voices of the contemporary poetry world. With no claim to a particular clique, small town is stripped-down and direct, as if motivated by a pure love of poetry, rather than an interest in glitter or flash. Evidenced by the fact that they've switched to staplebinding in order to publish more often, small town wants only to give readers access to great contemporary poets. It's a magazine to be read. --JP
