About

Melancholy Hyperbole is not a flash-in-the-pan poetry e-zine but a project born out of a love for the written word and a desire to create something lasting. It is also a project born out of the frustration that we must hold normal 9-5 jobs. This is rebellion; this is our true work. We love love. Show us what has moved your soul almost beyond recognition and we will grant you a little plot of our digital space here on the internet.
