SUMMER 2023
Welcome to Volume 5 — 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 has changed 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 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 generated by this change. —The Editors
