Summer 2014/Fall 2014

              “We go down to the sea and set sail
                for a world beyond war,
                knowing we will never find it.
                We are notheroes.
                We sail The Justice and The Mercy
                because these boats needrowing.”

                —from Habitation: Collected Poems by Sam Hamill

Featured Interview

Sam Taylor

“Regardless, I’d say I’m even more convinced of the book’s vision for the only livable future. Many of us have always been citizens of, have always been fighting for, the republic of the heart— what Martín Espada perhaps called “The Republic of Poetry”—one nation of all people based in celebration and relationship rather than domination and alienation.”
