JUST-RELEASED ISSUE OF DELAWARE POETRY REVIEW
GUEST EDITED BY SARAH BROWNING OF SPLIT THIS ROCK
The Delaware Poetry Review is proud to announce the publication of an exciting and stimulating new issue, featuring eleven poets with strong ties to the Mid-Atlantic notable for their diversity. Guest editor Sarah Browning is the founder and Executive Director of Split This Rock: Poetry of Provocation and Witness, and an Associate Fellow of the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, DC.
As she writes in her introduction: “The poems here take on the big issues: History and its contortion of the common human story. Family – both what is precious and what breaks. The body. The press of love, its ache, its sorrow and glee. Illness. Poverty. Suicide. How we are tender to one another and the many and varied ways we are not.”
Featured poets include: Cyrus Cassells, winner of the Lannan Literary Award; the late Henry Braun, for whom an annual Braun Memorial Prize at the University of Maine has been established; Teri Ellen Cross Davis, the coordinator of the Folger Shakespeare Library’s Poetry and Lecture Series; Fred Joiner, co-founder of the Center for Poetic Thought; Abigail Beckel, publisher of Rose Metal Press; and David Keplinger, Professor of Literature at American University. Other poets in the issue include up-and-coming authors Saida Agostini, Kelli Stevens Kane, Cliff Lynn, and Katy Richey.
