CPR Volume 27-3 August 2025

So Many Questions
in the August Issue

Welcome to the August Issue, Issue 27.3 of Cider Press Review.

In this issue of Cider Press Review, questions abound. In “Swimming in Doubt” Laura Cesarco Eglin ruminates: “Not the food as in pescado, / but the life that swims / like a question / mark in the body / with its body.” Amy Meckler’s silver-lined words in “Love in the Time of Apocalypse” remind us to seek hope, with “Maybe the world is a seed / that opens by fire. Or destroy is the joined twin of create. / Maybe the earth sees stars as closer kin.” And in “Fox,” Kelly Terwilliger reveals intricacies within unknowing: “I lay as close as I could. / Pink jacket. You never know, do you? / Who is underneath. Who is fox.”

Additional to the poets highlighted above, Vol. 27, Issue 3 includes poems by Jennifer Barber, Courtney Hitson, Brad Clompus, Lao Rubert, Justin Hunt, Caroline Barnes, Joannie Stangeland, David Bergman, Kathy Nelson, Clyde Kessler, William Reichard, D.M. Dutcher, Susanna Rich, Stan Sanvel Rubin, Abigail Michelini, Shoshauna Shy, and Annette Sisson.

Enjoy!
