Poiesis Review #7 J Bradley

Poiesis Review contains poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction in 140 pages of writing by some of the best writers in the independent press today. This issue focuses on the theme of "Desire & Memory." There are lots of literary journals out there, so why take a chance on this one? Because, after 26 years in the small press, Poiesis Review is one of the only literary journals in existence that features a blend of today's up-and-coming promising rookies alongside the staples and legends of the last few decades in the literary underground. Nowhere else will you find such a smattering of the writers' spectrum or such a truly accurate cross-section of all walks of the literary world-what five-time Pushcart Prize nominee and Wisconsin Regional Writers Association Award winner Charles P. Ries called "young blood running with old blood." The Featured Writer in this issue is traveloguist Jonathon Engels, writing with candor and humor about everything from Texas to motorcycles to how to pack for an overseas vacation. His work is showcased beside 26 other writers and over 65 pieces of writing, sandwiched between stunning cover artwork by artist Loui Jover.
