HEART is a small literary journal from the low country of South Carolina published by Nostalgia Press. Its spirited and struggling editor-publisher has freely given voice to poets from all over the world since 1986. HEART uses modern prose poetry, poems that give life and motion to moods, messages from simple moments, and sparkling lines from meditative thought. An annual cash award is offered, and the 2024 HEART Poetry Award winner, “Piano” by Eric Machan Howd of Ithaca, New York is featured in HEART Issue 19. Readers can also enjoy works by Ben Onachila, Carol Despeaux Fawcett, Kimberly Lewis, David James, Ion Corcos, Jacob Friesenhahn, Kathie Collins, Laurice Gilbert, Victoria Melekian, Lesley Sherwood, Shutta Crum, Mike Wilson, and a contribution and commentary from Editor Connie Lakey Martin.
