Issue 192

coverThese are the cages I keep where I harbor

all the damaged broken animals of my childhood.

They are not appropriate for rescue.

They will never stop cowering at an outstretched hand.

  1. Sarah Francis Moran’s poetry is some of the best out there right now. I was incredibly moved by her piece in the current issue

  2. Sarah Frances Moran is obviously a welcome addition to today’s poetry scene and should stay, as should any magazine putting her work out there. Bravo Crack the Spine.

  3. I’ve recently devoured Sarah Francis Moran’s Evergreen, it was painfully beautiful and I found myself rushing through it because my brain couldn’t wait to read the next set of words. Thank you Crack the Spine for giving her amazing words a larger platform to reach even more hungry souls.

  4. Sarah Moran writes fearless poetry. She is unembarrassed and unapologetic on some of the most difficult emotional subject matter. Her courage and vulnerability grab hold of my heart in every poem!
