Welcome to the June Issue, Volume 28, Issue 2 of Cider Press Review.
In this issue of Volume 28, we feel time’s press on a late spring breeze as it shifts into a summer wind. In “Waterfall,” Grant Clauser prompts us to note water’s path as we navigate our steps: “Every day we risk a precipice, / one step from two possible // outcomes. Every day we learn / a new name for something fallen.” Jennifer Stewart Miller sits within a quiet moment in “Summer Afternoon on the Porch,” recounting: “The hydrangeas hang their faded bluish heads— / my dozing mother, chin on her chest. // The shade is sweet—I sit. It’s too hot to claim / I have too much to do. A goldfinch.” And in “Time’s Great Treason,” Julie Weiss feels time’s rush in torrents: “Nights like this one, when / we´re dining outside, how they // trace their futures in constellations, / how time shovels bones down / my throat until I choke.”
Additional to the poets highlighted above, Volume 28, Issue 1 includes poems by: Lina Buividavičiūtė, Susan Eyre Coppock, Barbara Daniels, Michelle Geoga, Lana La Framboise, Julia Lisella, Michael Malan, Melanie McCabe, J.D. McGee, John Morrison, Camille Norvaisas, Emma-Jane Peterson, Callie Plaxco, Sara Schraufnagel, Jacqueline West, Shannon K. Winston, Lijia Xie.
Enjoy!
