Book Review/ Giveaway/CLOSED : LIGHT- Quarterly of Light Verse

I was recently given the opportunity to review a past issue of LIGHT, a poetry magazine, that comes out 4 times a year, courtesy of Lisa at Light and Cathy of Blogger Link Up!

I'm not a big poetry fan- I like what I like and the rest, uh, so so. But I know alot of my readers DO like poetry, so I figured it would be a great giveaway if I didn't want to keep it!

The LIGHT Quartely Issue I received covered over 20 different topics- from food to theatre, to society, to science to animals, and more! I found many of the poems interesting and many were quite short, making them very accesible! Interested in having one of your poems published? You can submit it to Light! Check out their rules HERE. You can check out samples from their past issues, order the next one and subscribe on their website: http://lightquarterly.org

Here's a sample from the sample I received that I found funny:

FREE AS A BIRD:

I am a free range chicken
I'm as free as I can be.
Up and down each hill
I run until
I'm chicken fricassee.
