CPR Volume 23-4

CPR Volume 23, Issue 4 is Now Online

“Where were you when nothing / was un-imaginable?” writes Sean Cho A. in Cider Press Review, Vol. 23, Issue 4. Our October issue features poems about evolution and change: not only the seasonal change described in John Glowney’s “This wreckage, the harvest,” but also the dissolution of certainty: loss of health, loss of relationships, loss of poetry—even loss of logic, direction, or maps. But as Soonest Nathaniel writes in “Nakedness of god,” “There is more than one meaning to light.” From Nadia Arioli: “All I have to do is trust I’ll find other aches.” About ducks, here’s Kelly Terwilliger: “And the slap of those feet saying / live live live.” For the loss of pattern, Eric Delp reminds us of “the way the cauliflower fruits in fractals” and “the starlings murmurate in perfect waves.” No matter what changes the fall may bring, we hope these poems bring you sustenance.
