To celebrate both National Poetry Month and the journal's twentieth anniversary, the Editors' Issue of the Café Review was published in April. The volume is unusual because it includes several essays by, as associate editor Stacey Chase explains, “the editors of at least a dozen well-respected poetry journals from across the country.” The editors were asked to describe the state of American poetry today (Is it still useful? Does it still have the power to move a person or change the course of public affairs?) and then explaining how they select poems for their publications. A geographically diverse group contributed to the project, including the editors of journals such as Hunger Mountain (Vermont), Lilliput Review (Pennsylvania), Rattle (California), and the Spoon River Poetry Review (Illinois).
