Poiesis Review #7: A Literary Journal
68 pieces by 27 authors

“Poiesis Review proves that there are wonderful editors left in the world. This journal has genuine heart and concern for its writers and the promotion of their work.”

—Julie Buffaloe-Yoder,
author of Price Reduced Again

---

Poiesis Review #7 contains 68 pieces of poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction in 140 pages of writing by 27 of the best writers in the independent press today. This issue focuses on the theme of “Desire & Memory.” Poiesis Review is one of the only literary journals in existence that features a blend of today’s up-and-coming promising rookies alongside the staples and legends of the last few decades in the pre-Internet literary underground. Nowhere else will you find such a smattering of the writers’ spectrum or such a truly accurate cross-section of all walks of the literary world—what five-time Pushcart Prize nominee and Wisconsin Regional Writers Association Award winner Charles P. Ries called “young blood running with old blood.”

The Featured Writer in this final print issue** is traveloguist Jonathon Engels, writing with candor and humor about everything from Texas to motorcycles to how to pack for an overseas vacation. His work is showcased beside 26 other artists and over 65 pieces of writing, sandwiched between stunning cover artwork by artist Loui Jover.

author of Why Is My Lemon Tea Red?
