The Hermit Poet

When you published your first book of poetry, it meant something — but what? Here’s your opportunity to tell us. Send me 250-500 words on what you hoped to accomplish with your first book. What voice did you want to add to the world? Are you joining a chorus or standing alone? What makes this book special and unique? The first book marks the beginning — the beginning of what?

You can send your First Book Manifesto to editor@boxcarpoetry.com with “First Book Manifesto” in the subject line.

We’ll be publishing these alongside the reviews — a way to generate interest in the books and hopefully draw reviewers and readers in as well.
