What do readers / contributors say about the Aurorean?
Here are a few examples from recent issues.
Thank you so much for my complimentary copies of the Aurorean…It is an absolute pleasure to be included, let alone featured, in such a wonderful collection of poetry.
—Kevin Marshall Chopson
My enthusiasm about the Aurorean is so intense, I spread my copies around to local poets who write lyrical works. I love seeing their poetry in my favorite magazines as well as my own. The beauty of your publication speaks for itself.
—Joan Higuchi
Apart from the poems, what makes The Aurorean special is the sense of community it creates around poetry and the seasons we share.
—Russell Rowland
Thank you for including my little poem. I'd like to take a moment, too, to note your professional handling of submissions, notification of receipt, acceptance, editing of text, method of acquisition of proofed bio and so on is second to none. Completely organized and thought-out-in-triplicate, timely, and personal…What a sensible and pleasant experience.
—D. James Smith
Just wanted to thank you for publishing one of my poems…I received my contributor copies in the mail, and think it's one of the loveliest poetry anthologies I've ever seen. I'm honored to be included in it…
—Devon Sova
Perhaps this careful yet caring reputation is the reason former Poet’s Market editor Chantelle Bentley titled her feature article on the Aurorean as such: “Editor Creates a Place for Poets Still Looking for a Home.” Bentley wrote: “This very humanistic attitude is at the center of what the Aurorean is all about.”
