Review: 

I signed up for this magazine because I'd gotten an advertisement in the mail... this is the first time junk mail has actually worked in persuading me to order something. I am currently subscribed to two writing/poetry magazines, this being one of them. The other periodical I had been subscribed to for a little longer, however it only offered tips and information, no actual poetry.

I was extremely excited to receive the March edition of Poetry Magazine in the mail, and was even more excited when I look inside. Poetry on almost every page! No fluffy articles about grammar usage, just pieces of poetry I could read and enjoy.

That is the thing I like most about this magazine is that you get a small taste of everything. So many poets and pieces are included that it's initially overwhelming. I love the fact that each month you read something, someone different. If you are looking for some sort of inspiration I would recommend checking this out. Although I have only received one month of Poetry Magazine, I know it will be a favorite and that I will look forward to finding it in my mailbox every month!
