Introducing The Found Poetry Review

All is not lost! The Found Poetry Review, a quarterly online journal "celebrating the poetry in the existing and everyday," has just launched its debut Summer 2011 issue. Featured are poets Howie Good, Jill Crammond, Christina Burress, and many, many more.

Here's Guy Torrey's "Harsh Conditions":

Tides and
storms, other times
rocks. Few survive
such harsh conditions;
live well

adapted to loss,
tightly constrained,
impermeable,
barnacles.

The source? Wikipedia.

From the journal's website:

We publish found poetry, centos, erasure poems and other forms that incorporate elements of existing texts.
