This is the first Poetry Potion quarterly, themed On Being Human. On Being Human is about what links me to you, us to them and, indeed, what divides us. It's about the existential angst we experience when faced with our inadequacies, with our uglier selves, and find ourselves unable to live up to the idea of the higher self. Poetry Potion is an online poetry journal, publishing poetry, poet profiles, reviews, and commentary.
