>From out of nowhere, Fulcrum has in only a few years established itself
as a must-read journal, a unique annual of literary and intellectual
substance positioned on the cutting edge of culture.
   --Billy Collins

A poetry journal open to a wider range of philosophical interests than
any other, Fulcrum is doing as much to advance philosophy as it is to
advance poetry.
   --Peter Hare, Editor, Transactions of the C. S. Peirce Society: A
Quarterly Journal in American Philosophy

One of the liveliest, most challenging poetry journals now on the
market, Fulcrum is notable for its non-sectarianism, its free-wheeling,
wide-ranging presentation of different poetries, candid interviews, and
unusual critical prose.
   --Marjorie Perloff
