~ Delta Poetry Review ~


Volume: 4

Issue: 12

Autumn 2022


Welcome to Volume 4 — DELTA POETRY REVIEW

We wish to expand the range of subjects and voices included in Delta Poetry Review. To that end, beginning with the February 2023 Issue, our editorial policy will change as follows: The February and June issues will be “Open Topic” — we welcome poetry with or without a Delta or Southern focus. The October issue will focus exclusively on work by poets who have spent time in the American South.
          A heartfelt thanks to all of our contributors and readers! We hope you will enjoy the content generated by this change. —The Editors

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

One day I'll be so dead that there won't be

I guess when you die you're pretty much dead,
