Lloyd Schwartz Libros

New and selected poems by renowned poet Lloyd Schwartz.

Why another literary magazine, when there already are so many? The only answer I can provide is that I don’t think there can ever be too many forums for good fiction and poetry. Especially in the United States, a place brimming with more great writers than at any previous time in its history. I can only hope, as Golden Streetcar concludes its first year in print, that Walt Whitman might take a break from celebrating the mysteries of Eternity long enough to bless this endeavor, and these storytellers, and the worlds they have birthed by putting pen to paper.--Kareem Tayyar, Director, Angels Flight Books
