Canary 4
Arrived in the mail today, a little beat-up from having been unceremoniously crammed into a mailbox half its size, but still readable. I peeked at a few of the poems, but won't really have a chance to dive in until later in the week. I'm mightily impressed with the layout though. Everything about the way it's put together seems designed to focus the reader's energies on the work—116 solid pages of poetry wrapped up between two no-nonsense covers. And I don't mean that euphemistically. It's a handsome journal, but the editors have done very little spin or sell the poems—and I find their confidence terribly seductive. You can get your own copy here. From what I've read so far, it's well worth the ten bucks, even on a student budget.
