Galatea Resurrects engages with poetry projects to present reviews, book introductions (or forewords prefaces or afterwords) not currently online, coverage of poetry events, and other engagements in any form (e.g. letters, poems, art, etc. in response to poetry). Reviews are not limited to recent releases as we believe Poetry is eternal.
Book and chapbook review copies are available HERE. However, Galatea Resurrects (GR) is now on sabbatical until announced otherwise. After GR's sabbatical ends, we will be open again to taking reviews and other engagements. We will send out review copies only after GR returns from sabbatical, though you also can review some beloved book that's long stayed on one of your bookshelves!
