LET MOI SENTENCE TOI!

"Of all the journals in circulation dealing with the prose poem, Sentence seems the best equipped for the task of filling some of the space [vacated by the demise of The Prose Poem: An International Journal]. Sentence spans the expanse of what is currently being done with the prose poem... and is surely as good a place as any to seek out the best of what is now in circulation."
—American Book Review

"(Sentence) is the best magazine of its kind since Peter Johnson's legendary The Prose Poem: An International Journal… Clements has gathered poems showing that form is not simply the structure of a paragraph, but a textual canvas of moving parts."
—Ray Gonzalez, Bloomsbury Review

Some of the prose poems in The Light are in this brand-new issue of SENTENCE: A JOURNAL OF PROSE POETICS, No. 5.

The poems Sentence took from me are not just prose poems; they also reflect my "list as (auto)biography" approach.

Here's the official announcement from stellar editor Brian Clements:

Sentence 5 is now available, including:
