Woven is a mini poetry anthology where each issue is focused on a theme. Number six is centered around "the city." For a one-pager this has a really engaging layout. It's cut to appear like a flipping mini with secret poems, almost like you've found them in the alley. Each fold is either typewritten or word processed and set against white, maps, or accented by a photograph so each piece has its own individual feel. My favorite work was the illustrations by Jasmine Dreame Wagner. The down side was that I didn't feel too strongly about the poetry, mainly because it was too abstract for my taste, but I think it's good for a glimpse at others' views toward the city. Contributing poets include Amanda Wheeler, Eve Lyons, Izz, Miranda Hale, Deirdre Ruane, and Sara Pinder.
