It has always made books that are aesthetically pleasing, and this anthology is no exception. The rich diversity of poets inside from John Balaban to Tom McGrath, Carolyn Kizer to Eleanor Wilner, celebrates 25 years of sagacious and daring publishing."-Maxine KumiList of Contributors :Vicente AleixandreOdysseus AlepoudeliHeather AllenEdgar AnawrokPaul AntschelJohn BalabanErin BelieuMarvin BellNelson BentleyStephen BergDavid BottomsKay BoyleRobert BringhurstOlga BroumasGladys CardiffHayden CarruthCyrus Curtis CassellsThomas CentolellaLucille CliftonGerald CostanzoSandor CsooriMichael CuddihyRichard DauenhauerMadeline DefreesHilda DoolittleTerry EhretCarolyn ForcheJames GalvinKen GernerPatricia GoedickeSusan GriffinJohn HainesMark Warren HalperinSam HamillHan ShanHan YuPaul HansenGerald Andrews HausmanRobert HedinJim HeynenGeorge Parks HitchcockGary H.
