Naugatuck River Review is dedicated to publishing great narrative
poetry. We are open to many styles of poetry, looking for narrative
that sings, which means the poem has a strong emotional core and the
narrative is compressed. We publish twice a year, Winter and Summer.
The Winter issue is the contest edition.
