Perfume River Poetry Review
Named after the river that flows through the Vietnamese imperial capital city of Huế, Perfume River Poetry Review is a new print literary journal that will publish its first issue in February 2013. The magazine was begun by Vuong Quoc Vu in 2012 to showcase and celebrate the best in new and emerging poetry. Vu, a graduate of the MFA in Creative Writing Program at Fresno State Univeristy, has been an editor of Reed Magazine, the San Joaquin Journal, and Caesura before embarking on his own poetry adventure on the Perfume River.
