New Lit on the Block :: Latern Review
Latern Review is a new online journal of Asian American poetry, edited by Iris A. Law and Mia Ayumi Malhotra, with Brandon Chez as Submissions Database Administrator. In addition to written works in “a vast range of poetry styles as well as a mixture of voices from different generations,” LR also features the works of several visual artists “whose images reflect and engagement with metapohor, gesture, and texture that is almost poetic.” LR also includes a Community Voices section “which features pieces by members of the community surrounding the Asian American poetry organization Kundiman, and a review of Sun Yung Shin’s Skirt Full of Black.”
