1. Introduction


To Readers of Monterey Poetry Review:
We are pleased to introduce the 2021 fall issue of Monterey Poetry Review. Without a particular stated theme the submissions we received and accepted over the months covered a diversified range of topics, viewpoints, and voices. We hope you will find the creative medley represented by the poets and artists included to be inspiring and eloquent. 

     "Diversity and inclusion, which are the real grounds for creativity, must remain at the center
​     of what we do." -- Marco Bizzarri
