We adore poetry, how it illuminates our lives and our hearts, and breathes fresh air through our minds. Whether rhythmic or discordant, plain verse or extraordinary explorations of language and tone, serious or humorous, poems speak to that which is deepest in us, and everything that makes us human and alive.

Each of the poets on the Poetry Longlist for our Spring Warmer issue have moved us in some deep way, and it’s going to be so very hard to choose the final pieces!
