Little Mirror is a critical archive & biannual journal of poetry dedicated to the edge of lyrical & inventive poetic thinking
Poems, like mirrors, reflect reality back at us—sometimes distorted, oblique, sometimes clear, defined, but always an extension of the real.
We are interested in poetry and poetics that siphon the written word into a reflective/refractive surface, catching light off of knowledge and recapitulating that light into image through sound and syntax.
The poem is a little mirror—a compact portal into imagined space, a landscape both in and out of time.
