Fall 2026 Crone Power Issue

Oct 1, 2026

—

Our Annual Fall Crone Power Issue is dedicated to the older women poets among us. Their poems reflect a plethora of experiences and interests that speak on a deeper level, and as they tell their stories, draw us in. These poems aren’t just for the crones among us, they are life experience distilled, and something everyone can learn from. They are a fine example of what poetry can do for the soul, if we only listen.

Our fine poets for this Issue include:

D Anson Lee, Angie Blake-Moore, Janet Bowdan, Laura Buxbaum, Marianne Celano, Ann Chinnis, Marsha de la O, Laura Denny, Margaret Diehl, Adele Evershed, Christa Fairbrother, Laura Falsetti, Elizabeth Farris, Helen Finney, Marissa Glover, Beth Gordon, Lisa Higgs, Linda Hillman Chayes, Catherine Hodges, Arminé Iknadossian, Brooke James, Martha Johnson, Tricia Knoll, Kristan LaVietes, Valerie Loveland, Mary McCarthy, Laura McCullough, Ellen McGrath Smith, Elaine Mintzer, Judith Montgomery, Ruth Mota, Anne Myles, Kristy Nielsen, Mary Oishi, Theta Pavis, Jennifer Pratt-Walter, Vivian Faith Prescott, Melissa Reed, Hassen Saker, Judith Sanders, Gina Serman, Michele Sharpe, Judith Sornberger, Alison Stone, Alison Sussman, Francine van den Berg, Bang Wang, Julie Weiss, Marceline White, Colette Wisnewski, Cree Zadra.
