Parlor Press

This story about Judith Chernaik's forty-year "Poems on the Underground" program in London ran in the New York Times this morning: How a New Yorker Put Poetry on the London Underground  [Free Article]. Sara Chernaik contacted Parlor Press last year to ask permission to display Jeongyre Choi's "Forest" from her collection Instances (2011). We said yes, of course. It's a beautiful poem. The ingredients of perfection are there from the start, waiting for the right moment, a light, or a shadow.
