The Review Review
Abstract
I was excited to discover a poetry-only journal, but that excitement soon gave way to disappointment since the journal is a journal in name only. The site is more like a collection of names with one or more poems posted. Of the thirty-one poets published in February’s issue of Verse-Virtual, eleven are contributing editors. Poems run the gamut from those by poets who read and study poetry to those who want to wear a shirt with the word, Poet, on the front. Most poems share the feel that they were written by folks well beyond their twenties with topics ranging from a love poem about octogenarians by Marilyn Taylor to an ekphrastic poem about cigar labels by Michael Gessner to a couple of poems by Pratibha Kelapure that are four and five lines in length.
