A Celebration of Voices That Stay With You
Every issue of PoetryBuzz Review begins with a simple goal: to create a home for poems that matter.
Some poems whisper. Others challenge. Some sit quietly beside grief, while others celebrate resilience, love, memory, nature, and the unexpected beauty hidden in ordinary moments. PoetryBuzz Review #2 is a collection that does all of those things and more.
This summer issue brings together an extraordinary group of poets whose work spans generations, styles, and perspectives. From lyrical reflections and experimental forms to deeply personal narratives and vivid imagery, each poem contributes to a conversation about what it means to be human.
A Collection Built on Community
At PoetryBuzz Press, we believe poetry is more than words on a page. It’s connection.
This issue features work from both emerging and established poets, each bringing a unique voice to the collection. Readers will encounter poems that explore:
- Love and loss
- Mental health and healing
- Nature and the changing seasons
- Family and memory
- Identity and belonging
- Hope in difficult times
- The quiet moments that often say the most
Whether you’re a lifelong poetry reader or discovering contemporary poetry for the first time, there’s something within these pages that invites you to slow down and listen.

More Than a Literary Journal
PoetryBuzz Review exists because poetry deserves a place where both readers and writers can feel welcomed.

This issue would not have been possible without the thoughtful work of our guest editors, Martha Deed, Thomas Janes, and Diane Funston, whose insight and dedication helped shape every page.
