Polyphony Magazine

In 2003, Keith Eckert started Polyphony, a short-lived online magazine devoted to narrative and dramatic poetry:
With Polyphony, I hope to directly address the questions surrounding narrative and dramatic poetry. Have the novel and short story replaced the narrative poem? Is there a niche that narrative poetry uniquely fills? Is verse drama the quaint exercise of a bygone tradition? Could narrative and dramatic poetry reach a wider audience than lyric poetry?
The magazine ceased publication in 2005, but the issues are archived and well worth reading.

Check out Polyphony.
