"While many
publications coast along on past reputations, MARGIE
has sprung to life, empowered by its editors strong will
to honor its namesake. I find in these pages a
variety we hunger for and are often denied, poems of
originality, verve, risk-taking, and spunkiness as well
as aesthetic competence the equal of that found
anywhere."

Espaillat's, for example, or Ted Kooser's--but I like the
magazines diversity, since you seem to be able to represent

poetry journal does not have to be narrowly focused or
identified with any one particular school. And as a
generous cross-section of contemporary American poetic
voices, it's the one journal that a literate non-poet might
find interesting."
---Jonah Winter |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

where poetry seems fun and important again." ---Robert McDowell |
|

that's open to all, the work judged on its merits rather
than the name of the poet."
