“What gentle echoes,/ half-heard sounds/ there are around here.” These lines begin Robert Creeley’s poem “Massachusetts,” which you can read in full below, alongside thirteen other poems fromReveal Digital’s Little Magazines collection. Available on JSTOR, the Little Magazines collection features more than 2,000 issues from more than 150 magazines and includes work by poets from the Beat Generation, the Black Arts Movement, Black Mountain, the Deep Image movement, the New York School, San Francisco Renaissance, Surrealism, visual and concrete poetries, L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E, and the Kootenay School of Writing. We could spend all day downloading and scrolling through these magazines, or all month, or all year for that matter—they’re filled with work by some of the most important voices of twentieth and twenty-first centuries. We hope you enjoy all the echoes and sounds in their pages.
