Welcome to Volume 2 of Cider Press Review (2001), courtesy of The Digital Project.
In this volume of Cider Press Review, we revisit 2001, resurfacing poems that remind us of our origins, how time can be hidden inside each issue, only to emerge decades later with dust settled in the margins.
In “Gone Missing,” Linda Pastan writes of timeless fear: “of what we fear the most: / our own loved children loosed / by stealth or accident/ into the beautiful / and unforgiving world. //” Ron Houchin shares the universal love for dogs in “God to dogs,” with: “The symbol of god is / the long chewable stick. / No believer / will allow one to be thrown away / that has been shaped and licked. //” And in “Last Poem” Halina Poswiatowska, translated by Sarah Luczaj, offers an everlasting goodbye: “so this is the last poem / for you / there won’t be any more / I said.”
Additional to the poets highlighted above, Vol. 2 includes poems by Robert Arroyo, Jr., Troy Jollimore, Mark Cox, Jody Azzouni, Aril B.
