LR News: Suggestions and Upcoming Reading Period
Happy New Year, and welcome back to the Lantern Review blog! We’d like to kick off the year 2010 with a request for suggestions re: topics/questions/books you’d like us to blog about in the New Year. As always, we love to hear from you, and want very much to be responsive to our readers and wider community of poets/writers.
Also, our reading period is opening soon, which means that we will (if all goes according to plan!) begin accepting submissions for the first issue of Lantern Review sometime toward the end of the month. If you haven’t already, check out our journal’s main page and preview issue, which offer a glimpse of our mission statement, aesthetic, and layout.
We wish you a Happy New Year, and look forward to reading your submissions!
Best,
The Editors
