Tipton Poetry Journal is based in Indiana and took local root in 2002. Today, it attracts and publishes work from poets not just from the Midwest but from those based nationally and internationally. I am very pleased that the Winter 2023 issue, #55 for this seasonal quarterly, includes my own poem, “Notes on Design.”
The journal can be read online HERE; print copies can be ordered through Amazon. It contains work by 37 poets as well as a Editor Barry Harris’s review of Reckless Pilgrims by Allison Thorpe. Out of so many poems that pulled me in, I was particularly taken with Ted Kooser’s “A Lake of Starlight,” Patricia Joslin’s “Kintsugi,” Wally Swist’s “Looking at Putin,” and “Spectral Bodies,” by Amit Shankar Saha.
Happy March! Happy Reading! LESLIE
Hi Jan,
It is very interesting to know the poems that speak to you! Leslie
“Blue winds” A brief, pithy, beautiful poem with those words in the middle.
Great journal. I liked the first poem about Nebraska, and the young lieutenant from Omaha I met on his way to Viet Nam, but I didn’t wait for.
Hi Liz,
Thanks! There really is no one like Ted Kooser, is there? Nice to hear from you!
Hi Beth,
Glad you have had a chance to dip into the issue. I love that quote used by Wally Swist by Madeline Albright!
Thanks, Lin!
Congrats, Leslie!
Congratulations, Leslie! A wonderful poem in a rather remarkable journal. I love its appearance online. And such good company you keep here as well.
I agree with your appreciation of Ted Kooser’s contribution and Wally Swist’s “Looking at Putin.” Enjoyed those almost as much as yours! 🙂
Wow! Congratulations, Leslie — right there with Ted Kooser. Am beholding those whorls 😃
