It took a couple of reads to realise the piece is mirrored, which gives it a familiar sound and encourages you to read it a few times. Also in the new poetry section, three poems by Jack Underwood use repetition to create the feeling of catchy songs, making them easy to connect with. One of these, \u003cem\u003eSong of Facts My Daughter Teaches Me,\u003c\/em\u003e stayed with us for a while, as it describes a child pretending to eat from an empty lunch box and a father in the ruins of his home.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eWho's \u003cem\u003eThe Poetry Review \u003c\/em\u003efor?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEach issue opens with a broad selection of poetry, presented with little guidance. It feels more like a book than a magazine and is one to try if you’re comfortable sitting with poems and forming your own interpretations. If you’re newer to poetry, there are essays and reviews which offer a more accessible way in, though you might find yourself wanting to look up a few references along the way. It's one to dip into when you want to take a moment to explore complex themes and think a little more deeply. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eType: Special interest, considered reading\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePages: 147\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstagram: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thepoetrysociety?igsh=MTdtaGM0eWozNHVhbw==\"\u003e@thepoetrysociety\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Poetry Society","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60055495639424,"sku":"The Poetry Review Vol 116, No.3 Autumn 2026 I3","price":10.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/5118\/7538\/files\/ThePoetryReviewAutumn26Cover.png?v=1791298452","url":"https:\/\/picsandink.com\/products\/the-poetry-review-vol-116-no-3-autumn-2026","provider":"Pics and Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
