The American Aesthetic is a quarterly journal searching for poetry that conveys in its very composition—as well as in the sound, cadence, and possibly even musicality of its words—an expression of honesty and purpose that somehow rings true. — See "The Elusive Poetic Voice" (Forum topic 5)
"Poetry, the feeling if not the words of poetry, --is he not dead to it, even as the pavement is dead over which his wheels trundle?" --Anthony Trollope
