POETRY

Poets for The Ester Republic range from those published for the first time to those with books, awards, and reading engagements under their belts. Their work is similarly varied in subject matter, formal style, and polish. None of them, to the publisher's knowledge, have yet managed to quit their day jobs in order to support themselves with their poetry, but we'll let you know the moment one succeeds in doing so.
