Johnny Cordova, Editor
Having published regularly in small press journals from 1995 to 2003, Johnny Cordova returned to the poetry scene in 2021 upon his return from ten years in Southeast Asia. Since then, his work has appeared in Salt Hill Journal, San Pedro River Review, Louisiana Literature, Chicago Quarterly Review, and elsewhere.
Johnny is a graduate of the Creative Writing program at Prescott College, where he mostly studied the short story, which has translated to a love for strong narrative verse. His website is johnnycordova.com
