The Jury's In: The Magic of Small Lit Presses Lives On Review of chapbook by Kathleen McClung, A Juror Must Fold in on Herself. The 36-page, 15-poem (several poems have multiparts) collection tells of a juror's duties and sequestered life in hotel rooms, silent and bored, and yet, bracketed from her normal lifestyle, afforded a new glimpse on who she is and how she relates to others and the duties we have to keep a fragile system. Lots of forms on display. Excellent work. Series: Poetry Reviews (9 Articles, 9362 views)
