Now here's a new angle: a postcard with a poem on one side, on the other, a review of the poetry collection it's from and bibliographic info so you can order the collection if you want. Sesshu Foster guest-edited this series, and the postcards serve as both a reference and review source of international poets (Middle Eastern, Latin American, Native American, Pakistani, Asian, etc.) and American poets with strong ethnic ties. Some of the poets: Martin Espada, Luci Tapahonso, Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Leonel Rugama and Amy Uyematsu. It's an interesting idea, and the careful selection of topics, poems, and reviews mix together in an impressive and innovative way.--Oberc
