Several stellar poems in this issue, including: Emily Jungmin Yoon, Ocean Vuong (of course), Pascale Petit, Joshua Bennett, and Tishani Doshi.
Although I appreciate how Poetry has become increasingly diverse in its publishing non-white writers, I was appalled, like many others, by the Poetry Foundation's initial tepid response to Black Lives Matters. With their kind of money and power, they should be doing better by this, and I'm glad they were called out for it. That said, after this year, I'm canceling my subscription. I think they have enough money anyway.

There were some poems in here that were lovely and I understood, some poems that were lovely, and some poems that I did not understand. I love the cover design of these mags very much.
