With the Fall 09 issue, I will be altering the format of Blue Fifth Review. This change will only affect the general unthemed issue, and will in no way change themed issues or supplements. I will accept material from 25 poets - and one of the poets will be the feature.
I will continue to accept artwork - as in past issues - in various forms and will use a minimum of two or more pieces in the general issue.
Of course, I won't say that this change is permanent - but it is for the Fall 09 issue.

a loss...
1969-2009

Good poet, good friend.

American Hunger
American hunger
would not occur
if not every
but most untruths,
malicious acts,
and un-kept promises
could be consumed
each falsetto
an appetizing morsel
fattening the nation
tipping the scale
