Pick up a copy or two of Re)verb Issue 4. This issue features work by Curtis Crisler, and has some great poems by Gerald Locklin, A.D. Winans Michael Estabrook and more.

Gerald Locklin's latest collection of poems, Chicago, New Orleans, and Points Elsewhere, documents his time in Chicago and The Art Institute, New Orleans (before the floods), and the treck back home to Long Beach, California. These highly cultural places are launching pads for Locklin's poems. These poems are more than travel poems that document time and place, they dive deeper into the human experience, the meeting of new people, the awareness that happens when in an unfamiliar place, the exploration and discovery of a local culture that differs from the one you live in back home. They also delve into personal interactions with those closest to Locklin.
