In an effort to avoid verbosity, we'll put it succinctly: we love poetry. Over the past six or seven years, we've been writing and sharing poems together. Sugar House Review is a product of these gatherings.
Our name is based on both our location and desire to publish sticky, heart-racing, sweet, sweet addictive poetry. Sugar House is a neighborhood within Salt Lake City. It was named after the sugar beet factory of the Deseret Manufacturing Company which operated in Sugar House from 1851–1855.
We are excited to be some of the first people to see your work and to help the best of that work become available to a larger audience.
Poetry is alive and well.
