In an effort to avoid verbosity, we'll put it succinctly: we love poetry. Over the past six years, we've 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 that work become available to a larger audience.
Poetry is alive and well.
