Okay, I’ll spill about Mexico in a little bit, but first: good news!
We begin our second year of publishing creative work on a city-by-city basis with the launch of Joseph Harrington’s Lawrence. This Kansas city is home to an aesthetically diverse group of poets, all innovating poetry in their own ways.
The Lawrence edition features poetry by
Anne Boyer
Cyrus Console
Joseph Harrington
Jim McCrary
Judy Roitman
K. Silem Mohammad
Kenneth Irby
William J. Harris.
Here are the poems I nominated from LOCUSPOINT for this year’s “Best of the Net” anthology:
Kristy Odelius, “Aubade, Big Eyes”
Paul Martinez-Pompa, “The Body As Weapon, As Inspiration”
Thanks to all editors and contributors for their outstanding work! It was a difficult decision, and each city had at least one contributor who made it to the final, gutwrenching round of selections.
Jen Currin presents the vertigo west poetry collective at LOCUSPOINT. We’re proud to feature work by the following inventive and innovative poets:
Meliz Ergin
Collette Gagnon
Brook Houglum
Helen Kuk
Kim Minkus
Emilie O’Brien
Cristina I. Viviani
along with Jen Currin herself.
Shin Yu Pai’s Dallas Edition will launch in mid-July. Enjoy!
I’m thrilled to mention that LOCUSPOINT will make a triumphant return very soon with the following cities:
Jen Currin’s edition of the vertigo west poets in VANCOUVER (May release)
Shin Yu Pai’s edition of DALLAS (June release)
Stay tuned!!
