        From the Guest Editor, Issue XVIII April 2013



If you believe that Poetry is dead cast your eye at this selection and you will reconsider. The Enchanting Verses Literary Review brings you new work by established and emerging Poets from around the globe, writing that is simultaneously urgent and reflective, self-aware and naive, beautiful and unmoved, post romantic and omni-carnal. 


It has been said that all dictators see poets as their worst enemy. Spend some time reading this selection and you will see why, for in this post-human age the poet is the real revolutionary, a solitary soul whose words both wound and heal.

"A definition of poetry can only determine what poetry should be and not what poetry actually was and is; otherwise the most concise formula would be: Poetry is that which at some time and some place was thus named." 

[Friedrich Von Schlegel (1772-1829), German philosopher. Aphorism 114 in Selected Aphorisms from the Athenaeum (1798), translated by Ernst Behler and Roman Struc, Dialogue on Poetry and Literary Aphorisms, Pennsylvania University Press (1968).]
