Cirque vol. 8.1 winter 2016

Cirque was founded in 2009 by Anchorage poet Mike Burwell and is edited by both Mike Burwell and poet Sandra Kleven.   Published in Anchorage, Alaska, Cirque gathers and publishes poetry of the North Pacific Rim:  Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Hawaii, Yukon Territory, Alberta, British Columbia, and Chukotka.”  I love this journal for so many reasons, but certainly for the fact that publishing in its pages feels like home.  Thank you, editors, for including my poem “Goose & Grove” in this fine winter issue which is viewable both online and in print.
