What do readers / contributors say about the Aurorean?
Here are a few examples from our most recent issues.
The Spring/Summer 2009 issue presents itself beautifully. The quality and content are no surprise to me. I think you've really set a high standard for the Aurorean. I'm sure it's inspiring for other small press publications. I'm proud to pass it around.”
—Mia Cartmill
I just read my copy of the Aurorean from cover to cover and absolutely love it! It's one of the best spring issues ever! After the long, seemingly endless winter here, the spring and summer imagery was so refreshing.
—Bridgette E. Hahn
Two copies of the Aurorean arrived today and turned a bad week…into something special. I am about to curl up with my copy now…I am honored you thought so much of my poem, "Sweet on Blue,” to include it in your beautiful publication.”
—Lauren McBride
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
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.”
