another wholly original idea from the little press that could. one of the most delightfully non-wonkish contributor pages i've read in a long time. read it and buy it; pet it and make it yours.

Some really fine poems in here, from Ivy Alvarez's kick-off poem "What Vivien Leigh Dropped" with its enfolded rhymes to Nancy Devine's "Queen" sonnet homage to Freddy Mercury ("Mercury rises") to Saeeed Jones's "Daedalus, After Icarus" and those transformative last lines "We don't want wings. / We want to be fish now." to Christopher Hennessy's "Autopsy" where the precision of the words evokes the precision of the dissecting action, not to mention those wonderful full- and slant- rhymes done in tercets, pulling off three end rhymes in a row without it sounding sing-songy! I could go on about the others but there's so much to discover here that you should just go pick up your own copy and enjoy.
