Product Description

The MacGuffin’s Vol. 37.1 comes at you with an expanded selection of poetry and expanded coverage of our Poet Hunt contest(s) too! We start with Matthew Olzmann’s selections from Poet Hunt 25: Vivian Shipley’s grand prize winning “No Rehearsal” and honorable mention selections from Rita Schweiss and John Jeffire. We then look ahead to Poet Hunt 26, open April 1-June 15, 2021, with a four-poem spotlight on guest judge Indigo Moor. Kevin Tosca’s humorous “How Quaint” and Lance Olsen’s slowly unfolding “Skin Elegies” round out this issue’s prose selections. Joe Lugara’s deep, digital paintings serve as this issue’s art feature.
