[Martin Elster]

I am delighted to announce that my poem, “Your Abstract Body,” appears in the current issue of Better Than Starbucks (November 2018 Vol. III No. IX). Many thanks to Vera Ignatowitsch for publishing it.

This issue also includes poems by Susan McLean, John Beaton, Edmund Conti, and Robin Helweg-Larsen.

Congratulations! I love that place. The name does not lie, what they offer is way better indeed. As these poems evidence.

[John Riley]

Congratulations, Martin

I have five tanka-length poems in another section of Better Than Starbucks.

A splendid journal indeed. With some splendid poets.

And me.

Love getting subs from the poets here. Thank you, Martin, Susan, John, John, Martin and others for submitting to us!

We publish free verse, haiku, formal poetry, poetry translations, international poetry, lighthearted verse and limericks, experimental poetry, sentimental poetry (poignant, nostalgia, quirky, fun), all kinds of forms, and also fiction and creative non-fiction. Plus you can submit in more than one category at the same time. Robin hit a trifecta this month - he's in three sections.
