Every quarter we announce the title of our forthcoming issue, which is essentially the theme of the issue. We love poems that interact with the theme in subtle and unexpected ways, rather than more straightforward interpretations. But it is a balancing act. Ultimately when it comes to deciding between the final contenders, we tend to select those that are more closely related to the theme over a brilliant poem that could have been written for any other issue.
