Philly Poetry Chapbook Review is archived in two volumes of three issues per year: Jan/Feb, Mar/Apr, May/June, July/Aug, Sept/Oct, Nov/Dec. We aim for at least three book reviews/essays, one craft essay and one author feature in each issue.
Read a message from Aiden Hunt about Issue 5 content, the future of Philly Poetry Chapbook Review, and the open online poetry course that inspired the creation of this journal.
We’ve completed our first volume, there’s a new featured chapbook poem, and we’re starting to look for a Poetry Editor to expand what we publish. Check out the editor’s note for July 2024.
