OUR CG McDonald and I are in the most recent issue of Pivot, a worthy magazine you should know more about, which is part of a larger empire. Pivot is a rarity--it just celebrated its fiftieth anniversary as an independent journal, and has expanded from an annual to a semiannual. Historically (and still) formal-friendly while open to accessible free verse, it has in the past few years emphasized narrative poetry--arguably the only journal in the world to do so. It is run by a skilled husband/wife team of poets, Art Mortensen and Liz Holly, who also run the Expansive Poetry site which you should all check out, and Somers Rock Press, which has in the past few years published a ton of super chapbooks by New Formalists, including OUR Len Krisak and OUR Alan Sullivan. Subscriptions are $20 (Pivot. c/o Arthur Mortensen, 505 Court Stret 4N, Brooklyn NY 11231).
