Publisher’s description:
The world needs another poetry journal like it needs a . . . 

Hole in the Head Review was founded as a quarterly journal of art and poetry in 2019 by Bill Schulz. In 2025 Bill passed it to Mike Bove, its current Editor. Now a biannual journal, HITHR continues to feature some of the strongest work by established and emerging poets. 

Turns out, the world does need another poetry journal. In times of struggle and uncertainty, we turn to words and images to order the chaos, bring light to the darkness. Here you'll find poems that celebrate the collective human voice: our struggles and victories, our enduring spirit. We welcome all voices, and our tastes are eclectic. In general, we look for poems that reframe the ordinary, make the personal universal, and transcend the singular "I".
