"Of all the journals in circulation dealing with the prose poem, Sentence seems the best equipped for the task of filling some of the space [vacated by the demise of The Prose Poem: An International Journal]. Sentence spans the expanse of what is currently being done with the prose poem... and is surely as good a place as any to seek out the best of what is now in circulation."

—American Book Review

 

"(Sentence) is the best magazine of its kind since Peter Johnson's legendary The Prose Poem: An International Journal… Clements has gathered poems showing that form is not simply the structure of a paragraph, but a textual canvas of moving parts. Besides pieces by stalwarts of the genre such as Russell Edson, Morton Marcus, and Peter Johnson, vibrant work by Leonard Schwartz, Beckian Fritz Goldberg, and Matthew Roth make this issue a must. Critical reviews of books by prose poets round out the magazine and show that Sentence may become the key resource for a properous form that continues to grow."

—Ray Gonzalez, Bloomsbury Revie
