The website (www.smartishpace.com) does supplement its hard-copy issues...the site is also home to 'Poets Q & A, ' the first of its kind on the Internet." --The Chronicle of Higher Education"The magazine has become a welcome home to some of this generation's most prestigious poets...in fact, Reichert's modest tome has managed to publish new works from the last three Pulitzer Prize winners in poetry...." --Baltimore Magazine"Devoted entirely to poetry, Smartish Pace is a physically beautiful specimen...and bravo, too, to Smartish Pace for giving us so many intelligent and finely wrought poems. May they keep up the pace for many more years." --NewPages.com"Beyond merely Smartish, the smartest thing to come out of Baltimore's rich literary life in some time is Smartish Pace." --RADAR magazine"I enjoyed every moment I spent at smartishpace.com, and I didn't miss a single page. The poetry is exceptional and the reviews interesting. Plan on visiting the site and make sure you bring your coffee, a snack, and have lots of time to visit every section. It is definitely worth the read." --InkThoughts.com"How fast exactly is a Smartish Pace? If momentum means anything to this devourable, young magazine, Baltimore had better build another lane among its literary innerbelts." --Virginia Foundation for the Humanities
