Book excerpt: NUMBER 7, AUTUMN 2012 Evening Street Review is centered on the belief that all men and women are created equal, that they have a natural claim to certain inalienable rights, and that among these are the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. With this center, and an emphasis on writing that has both clarity and depth, it practices the widest eclecticism. Evening Street Review reads submissions of poetry (free verse, formal verse, and prose poetry) and prose (short stories and creative nonfiction) year round. Submit 3-6 poems or 1-2 prose pieces at a time. Payment is one contributor’s copy. Copyright reverts to author upon publication. Response time is 2-3 months. Please address submissions to Editors, 7652 Sawmill Rd., #352, Dublin, OH 43016-9296. Email submissions are also acceptable, and may be sent to the following address as attached Microsoft Word or RTF files: [email protected].
