Welcome to Poetry Markaz\u2014where poetry comes alive through the voices of the poets themselves.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If poetry is nourishment for the soul, think of Poetry Markaz as a place to savor finely curated literary tastings. Unlike most digital journals, we offer more than just text\u2014we offer presence, voice, and connection.<\/p>\n

Each month, we spotlight two to three poetry collections. For each, we present a brief video featuring the poet (or, in the case of anthologies or translations, the editor or translator), accompanied by two poems from the book. If the sample resonates, you can explore the full collection at your leisure.<\/p>\n

We invite you to experience poetry in this vivid, personal way\u2014and to share our international journal with fellow readers and poetry lovers around the world.<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/em>Sholeh Wolp\u00e9<\/a>, Poetry Editor of The Markaz Review*<\/p>\n
