Harbinger Asylum Dustin Pickering

Harbinger Asylum is a long standing journal for poetry and the arts based on Houston, Texas. Houston has one of the oldest creative writing departments in the country. Harbinger Asylum seeks to reflect a range of contemporary aesthetics and approaches to poetry in its pages. This edition includes a prose writing by Sarah Mukami to show the horror of female circumcision in her country, an essay by Reza Parchizadeh on the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and why they are considered a terrorist organization, a long essay on Lisa Marie Basile's poetry chapbook Andalucia by our chief editor, a generous selection of poems from people of a diverse field of interests and approaches, and art from Gregg Dotoli, and Mario Loprete of Italy. Harbinger Asylum's service to the poetry community at large is not something to be missed!
