Thank You for supporting The Comstock Review!
Poets share their work when they dare to be in conversation with the world. We celebrate their courage.
The Comstock Review is in print because poets trust us with their writing, and readers trust us to bring them the best poems we can find . That’s means a lot to us!
Our mission is to connect poets and readers as a poetry community. We couldn’t do it without you.
You are the reader we dream of — the one who finds something — something beautiful, informative, intriguing or well-formed, or personally relevant, or simply entertaining — in each of our issues.
Thank you for your letters and emails of appreciation. You keep our volunteer editors motivated to spend long hours selecting poems and working behind-the-scenes to bring our journals and chapbooks to you.
This is a tough time for small presses. Many established journals have closed up shop recently. Costs have gone up, readership has gone down, and everyone feels exhausted. And as much as we’ve resisted the idea, even The Comstock Review has had to raise its prices (more on that below).
Still, we feel blessed: because of you, we are still here, and approaching our 40th anniversary soon!
Your subscriptions and tax-deductible donations help keep The Comstock Review in print. We don’t just intend to survive; we’re looking to the future! We’re making significant changes: updating our layout and typesetting, and with your continued support, a new website and future projects to make poetry more accessible to wider audiences.
