Ocho #18
Cat Townsend has done it again. The former editor of Impetus Magazine,as guest editor of Mipoesias Magazine, has put together an array of poets from her old stable of writers, including BZ Niditch, Michael Hathaway, Lyn Lyfshin, Todd Moore, Sheila Murphy and others who grace the pages of this poetical wonder. It is like a best of, or greatest hits of former Impetus writers and is a must read for anyone with a penchant for reading the words of our most creative, modern poets alive today.
The cover art is appealing and features a door that you absolutely must open, and then, enjoy what is inside.

Two Thumbs Up!
I was quite impressed, by both the physical product and the writing inside (I even liked my own prose poem).

Servives like Craete Space are indeed the future of small press publishing -- and that future is now. If we only had such technology 15-20-25-30-100 years ago, when we all published our little mags on Xerox and stampled and mailed them with money we scraped up...then again, that was the magic of the small press back then...has POD taken away the magic...nahh. We flow with the times.
