Mezzo Cammin

Mezzo Cammin is a semiannual online literary journal devoted to formalist poetry by contemporary women[1][2] as well as to bring attention back to work that was more famous in previous eras.[3] The journal's title comes from Judith Moffett's poem "Mezzo Cammin", which in turn takes its title from the opening line of the famous Italian poet Dante Alighieri's Inferno. The journal was associated for a long time with the West Chester University Poetry Conference.[4] The founding editor in chief was Kim Bridgford.[5] Its advisory board consists of well-known poets such as Annie Finch, Allison Joseph, Marilyn Nelson, and Molly Peacock. Since Kim Bridgford's death in June 2020, the journal has been edited by Anna M. Evans.
