Volume: 3  

Issue: 7

Welcome to Volume 3 of DELTA POETRY REVIEW!

      It is our pleasure to offer a free venue for poets at any stage of their literary development—truly a labor of love and admiration for our contributors and readers.

     We have published seven issues of wonderful work from a wide range of talented poets—both new and familiar voices. Each issue includes a Featured Poet in special recognition of their poetry contributions to DPR and the reading world at large.

     While our primary aim is to connect readers with the “Southern” experience, we welcome work written in English from all over. Two issues are devoted to work with a Delta or other Southern focus/theme. The remaining issue is an open invitation to a wide range of topics.

     We do nominate for the Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net—beginning this year. We receive many wonderful poems we wish we had written ourselves!

     Please browse our website and consider sharing your work with fellow poets and all other interested readers. Also, please share information about Delta Poetry Review with colleagues, students, family, and friends.

     We look forward to reading your poems!
