Out of Line
Fall 2015 · Vol. 38 No. 2
For this special anniversary issue, Contemporary Verse 2 resists looking back at their 40 years of publishing experience and instead chooses to celebrate the future possibilities for poetry, both critically and creatively. This issue breaks free from CV2’s usual design to pay tribute, with a more modern interpretation, to the original 1975 issues of the magazine.
