May ’26: New Staff, New Calls, New(ish) Name

By Aiden Hunt Verified
| Philly Poetry Chapbook Review
Dear Readers, Welcome to Issue 12: Spring 2026 of the Philly Chapbook Review! With the addition of original short fiction and (soon) prose chapbooks, we have officially dropped “poetry” from our name. In addition to the new poet every other week and featured poem excerpts, we will be publishing up to three pieces of fiction per issue and, hopefully, fiction excerpts from new or forthcoming collections. Beginning with Issue 13, we will also begin weekly New Fiction Books for literary fiction.
