Issue: 15

AUTUMN 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.

          This October 2023 issue showcases New & Emerging Poets with a connection to the South, poets whom you may not have yet read. We hope you enjoy their work, and if you'd like to compliment any of the poets, just email us at deltapoetryreveiw@email.com. We love to encourage writers and will be certain to pass your fanmail along.
         A heartfelt thanks to all of our contributors and readers! We hope you will enjoy the content generated by this change. —The Editors
