Illinois, My Apologies

Justin Hamm, a PSR XI contributor, contacted us the other day to tell us about the collection of poems he's put together. The title of the collection, Illinois, My Apologies, comes from the very poem that we published last year in the magazine!

Mr. Hamm has been making audio recordings of his poems to prep for open mics, and he sent along this video version of "Illinois, My Apologies." And now we're sharing it with you, to listen and enjoy!



Originally from the flatlands of central Illinois, Justin Hamm now lives and writes in Missouri. His work has appeared or is forthcoming in New York Quarterly, Cream City Review, Spoon River Poetry Review, Red Rock Review, The Brooklyn Review, and numerous other publications.
