In the inaugural issue of OV, the most exquisite and passionate expressions of the human condition come alive on a variety of topics. This volume captures the essence of life's momentous joys, sadnesses, defeats, and triumphs. Topics run the gamut from the love for children, love of nature, to opposition against ethnic oppression. Thus the volume transports the reader through joy and sorrow. The cry for the right to human freedom denied to numerous struggling humans runs through the anthology as a powerful theme. Unequivocally, OV is among the best adult poetic fare to make its debut in recent years. OV--in this era of globalization-- is indeed, Your Poetry Connection to the World. — Barbara Gill-Mayberry
