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
