Welcome back BLUE BUCOLIC!
it’s not often we revise an existing title. Rebecca Kokitus’ 2nd chapbook has a revised cover, sharper images, and revised poems in this classic Thirty West chapbook from 2019. Sadly, no Schuylkill County coal rubbed pages, but this poetry is amazing.

I could REALLY use more orders of Issue 20.
This is a celebration of 5 years of a magazine that pays, prints, fulfills orders immediately, doesn't charge fees or ask for donations & champions its contributors. Here's what's inside this anniversary issue.
