 SUMMER 2025


Welcome to Volume 7— DELTA POETRY REVIEW

Delta Poetry Review publishes three issues annually. Our February and June issues are “Open Topic” — we welcome poetry with or without a Delta or Southern focus. The October issue focuses primarily but not solely on work about the American South and the Delta region.
          A heartfelt thanks to all of our contributors and readers! We hope you will enjoy the content. —The Editors

 

Our beloved DPR founder and friend, Dixon Hearne, passed away on March 24, 2025. Our October issue will be dedicated to his memory. We will miss him dearly.
