Year in Review

We are pleased to have published the work of sixty poets and writers in our 3 issues of The Fox Chase Review  presented during 2011. Established and emerging artists fill the pages from various disciplines in the worlds of poetry and prose without geographic limitations. Five have been nominated for a Puschart Prize. The Winter/Spring 2012 edition will be released in January of 2012.

    The Fox Chase Reading Series sponsored eleven events in 2011 featuring twenty five poets and numerous open mic readers in Fox Chase at Ryerss Museum and Library, our two outdoor summer events and the book launch of  Images of Being by our poetry editor, Diane Sahms-Guarnieri. The Featured Poet Series moved to Ryerss in February 2011 and we are grateful to the support of the staff of Ryerss.

We look forward to 2012 anticipating the publishing of three editions of The Fox Chase Review and featuring sixteen poets at our reading series at Ryerss. The continued increase in readership of the review and attendance at our reading series continues to inspire us to bring you quality poetry and prose. We hope you continue to enjoy the review and come out to the reading series.

Please join us when we kick off the 2012 reading series: Cohen-Buccino on January 29th

All the best in the New Year
