Issue 3: Winter 2011

After reading 1200+ poems, hours of deliberation, and countless shots of cold coffee, the third issue of Muzzle is out. We have been blessed beyond reason to be able to consider so many gutsy and soulful poems for this issue, and we hope you enjoy getting to read the poems in this issue as much as we have.

This issue features poems from 15 poets (14 new poets and one Muzzle veteran, Carrie Rudzinski):

Geoff Kagan Trenchard*
Marcus Wicker*

Michael Mlekoday
Shelell Freeman
Alan King
Lindsay Miller
Steve Subrizi*
Irène P. Mathieu*
Susie Swanton
Khadijah Queen
Todd Anderson*
Carrie Rudzinski*
Jeffrey Dieter
* denotes poems with audio recordings

We also have some pretty stunning art selections. Notably, this issue features photography from our youngest contributor yet, 14-year-old Eleanor Bennett of the UK.

Eleanor Bennett
Jason Fairchild
Ritika Gandhi

This issue’s review section is headed off by JW Basilo’s sober and eloquent review of the late Kent Foreman’s last performance. This issue also features an interview with Mahogany Browne and reviews of Roger Bonair-Agard’s new book Gully (by Zoelle Egner) and Carlos Cumpián’s new chapbook 14 Abriles: Poems (by CJ Laity). 


All our best,

Muzzle
