Welcome to Volume 4 — 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 Fall issue is an open invitation to a wide range of subjects.

We do nominate for the Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net! We receive many wonderful poems that we wish we had written ourselves! Please browse our website and consider sharing your work with fellow poets and other interested readers. Also, please share information about Delta Poetry Review with colleagues, students, family, and friends. We look forward to reading your poetry!

Annually, Delta Poetry Review proudly nominates poetry for

 The Pushcart Prize  &  Best of the Net
