The best poems of the year will be collected together in a print anthology which is scheduled for spring 2008. The 2006 anthology is available for purchase here. In addition to publishing outstanding poetry, we seek to raise the profile of the next generation of poets by featuring reviews of first books and interviews with first book poets. Poems from Boxcar Poetry Review appear in the 2006 Best of the Net Anthology (Sundress Press). We also nominate poems for the Pushcart Prize in Poetry. If you're on Facebook, you can join our group here. We are also on GoodReads and can be found by searching for our email address (boxcarpoetry@gmail.com) there.
