From the Editor
Resonance publishes contemporary poetry that rewards rereading. We seek poems that are emotionally precise, formally attentive, and memorable beyond the final line.
“Issue One is unthemed. I am looking for poems that arrive at something true, not through statement, but through the accumulation of image and attention. Work that leaves a mark.”
Sara Tejani, Founder & Editor-in-Chief
