Editorial Focus
Inspired by the small plot of apple trees near Cambridge, England, where writers have gathered for years with their books and pens, The Orchards Poetry Journal is released biannually, in print and online. In each issue, the editors choose three poems to nominate for the Pushcart Prize.
