About the name of this poetry journal . . .

I chose the name, Poppyseed Kolaché, to honor the memory of my paternal Grandmother, Mary Anna Lastovica, who made the best poppyseed kolaché ever made by anyone anywhere.  

But I might be biased.   

Unlike other kolaché, where fillings are spooned into a hollowed out well in the soft sweetened dough, the filling of a poppyseed kolache is concealed inside the soft bun.

I liked the idea of naming

a group of diverse poems gathered into book form after the plural word for a dessert that looks plain on the outside, but (when bitten into) reveals   something that is sweet, buttery, sticky, some might even say gritty, and mildly narcotic . . . "
