About

Hobo Camp Review is an online poetry journal and a gathering place for the road-weary storyteller. Can you hear the highway? Can you smell the river? Sit a spell by the fire and tell us where you've been. We're interested in travel stories, Beat-ish poetry, something with a dark twist, and something that'll make us laugh. Pretty much anything that sounds great read aloud beneath a railroad bridge at night. Welcome to the Hobo Camp, fellow transient!
