In its second year of releasing
two issues per year, Sensations Magazine began to gain a larger
following of poets, both in New Jersey and around the United States.
Readings were frequent and in interesting and diverse locations, from
cemeteries to wineries, and we began the process of videotaping select
readings - a process that continues today.
On the academic-esque end,
Issue 7 brought the Rediscovering America in Poetry research series into
the 17th century, while Issue 8 examined poetry written by Christopher
Columbus, and how he believed his journeys into the New World were a
role in fulfilling the prophecies of the Bible.
