Boxcar Poetry Review - Issue 14
This fourteenth issue is all about perspective it seems. How we see the world, or how we misperceive it. Offices and churches. Deer and death. Letters, almost winged-backs, and wooden decoys. The looping sestina on the dance floor. Each in their way, another take on appearance.
Photography this month from the editor's files. As they say, it's all about location. Last year, standing on the shores of Gabriola Island, the world looked different, felt different, seemed on the edge, as we were on the edge.
More reviews coming this summer. Stay tuned. Best wishes to all our readers and writers with your summer projects and vacations.
