5th Anniversary Issue

On April 15th Perigee is celebrating its 5th anniversary with an amazing 20th issue containing all new poetry, prose, and visual art. We are also featuring the 2007 Poetry Contest winners, and our recent Pushcart nominees. On top of all that, we've got new features and reviews, and we're wrapping up submissions to our 2008 Fiction Contest.

It will be a great issue, and one which we hope you will enjoy as much as our recent installments. Perigee is up to wondrous things these days, but it is only because of you, our readers, our writers.

Let us continue to celebrate.
