A few remarks from our readers and contributors:

"Plume has a fine spirit and feel to it… The issue you've presented lives up to its ambitious statement of purpose—which is saying not a little." ~ Roseanna Warren

"A thing of beauty" ~ G.C. Waldrep

"Plume is one of the most exciting, eclectic gatherings of writers on the web. Editor Daniel Lawless has a knack for putting together voices that create surprising neighborhoods of words, related in complex ways that only gradually reveal themselves. It’s one of very few webzines that I always read." ~ Chase Twichell

"Elegant Plume appeared with the flourish of a cyberquill pen in 2011 and quickly became the place where superlative poets showcase their brightest work. Editor Danny Lawless displays his adoration for electric, emotional and, dare I say, meaningful poetry—and for poets themselves—with all the vigor of a steward of this art. Once a year the revered, sparky, sagacious Plume comes into print, subtly changing our cultural foundations. Hold it, read it, and applaud!" ~ Molly Peacock

"The issue is beautiful, and I'm impressed by the way you've managed both aesthetic range and a sense of holistic synthesis. Looking forward to the next one. And there are a couple of books on the reading list that I didn't know before, and I'm delighted to have been pointed toward them." ~ Kimberly Johnson
