Bronze Bird Review: Issue Three

The third issue of Bronze Bird Review gathers twenty-six poets who look hard at what most of us walk past. Here, a fire truck idles in a driveway because of eggs left on the stove, a millwright in wooden shoes unfurls canvas sails over a Dutch canal, and a mother, pregnant with her fourth child, drives a junk-heap Chevy to her job scrubbing floors at the Veterans hospital.

These are poems of attention — to fathers and their tools, to a flooded field where horses huddle like shipwrecked sailors, to a path off a dead-end street that was there all along. They move from a cornfield in Pennsylvania to a cathedral town on the Rhine, from a care-home wall marked for growth spurts to a stairwell shaking in an earthquake, and they ask, in twenty-six different voices, what it means to keep looking.
