An anthology of a different sort, this volume presents a representative sample of contemporary American poems in 2023, with a road map of their origins. Bringing a diversity of styles and sensibilities, 62 poets from across the United States--some well known, some up-and-coming--illuminate their craft. Each poet contributes one poem, accompanied by an essay discussing their creative process and how the verse came to fruition.
“Walsh does a great service to the lover of poetry…. Not only do you get exceptional poems; you also hear from the poets themselves about what inspired them, how they chose language and form, how they struggled to give birth to the version they finally shared with the world.”—Clayton Ramsey, Glint Literary Journal
