Poetry journal Blue Unicorn begins year 41

The October issue of Blue Unicorn, the all-poetry triquarterly, honors the late Ruth G. Iodice, who launched the journal with two co-editors in 1977.  With subscribers in half the states and several foreign countries,  BU has proved a hardy perennial. It has printed well-known poets and first-timers writing in a mix of styles, notably welcoming rhymed and metered verse when these tools were out of fashion.  Since Ruth’s death in August, BU continues under my editorship.
