• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

New Verse Review 2.4: Halloween 2025 Mini-Issue​



The 2025 Halloween mini-issue is now available at www.newversereview.com! Many thanks to Paul Millan for the cover image and for the artfully gothic photos that appear throughout the issue. And thanks to NVR Deputy Editor Zina Gomez-Liss for editing the issue with me.

The Halloween issue features poems by 23 poets, eight of whom are making their NVR debut. You’ll find a range of poems from the humorous to the meditative to the elegiac to the frightening to the phantasmagoric. You’ll find a dramatic monologue from “San Francisco’s Fourth Female Detective” and the greatest southern gothic waterskiing poem of all time. You’ll find Dracula, aswangs, Scylla, and a stripper named Autumn. You’ll find poetic fare that will take you through the spooky season and Hallowtide and into November.

We are also pleased to throw NVR’s first ever online Halloween party this coming Friday evening, October 17, at 8:00 EST. A number of Halloween issue contributors will read their poems for you. All are welcome. Costumes are optional. Sign up here for the ZOOM link.

You can download a pdf of the complete issue here.
