Collected here in the first issue, and distributed for free as a PDF, are ten poems by nine poets who answered the invitation, along with their notes on process and the triggering images. The poems are ordered by the publication date of the images, 1854–2010.
Without collaboration or discussion with each other, these poets made a collection in which each poem resonates, sometimes chillingly, with its companions. Serendipity of this order is always welcome.
Join me in congratulating these poets. Please read their poems and celebrate the work by sharing it widely.
