About Us

In an effort to avoid verbosity, we'll put it succinctly: we love poetry. Over the past five years, we have been writing and sharing poems together, as well as sharing our favorite poetry collections and magazines.

Sugar House Review is a product of these gatherings. We are excited to be the first people to see some of your best work and to help the best of that work become available to a larger audience.

Poetry is alive and well.
