About the Book

To anyone observing the current state of English-language poetry, it has become increasingly apparent that we are in a state of transition, in which poetry is moving in several directions at once (Language poetry, MFA-inspired confessional verse, New Formalism). This book is the first of its kind, gathering young poets who, working outside the established camps, develop new directions in contemporary poetry. Contributors include: Frank Rogaczewski, Brooke Bergan, Randolph Healy, Mike Barrett, Eric Elshtain, Trevor Joyce, Catherine Kasper, Karen Mac Cormack, and Peter Middleton.
