description: Mahoning Valley Poetry gathers together the poetry of nearly 100 writers who live and work in Northeast Ohio. It's hard to categorize the poets in this these poems were authored by doctors, nurses, teachers, foundry workers, auto assemblers, housewives, politicians, students, and bikers. It's hard to characterize the diversity of poetry being written by people in the Mahoning Valley as well, except to say that there's a kind of pulse running through it, a pulse that reverberates with humor, toughness, compassion, and brutal honesty. In this book you'll find traditional poems about nature, contemporary poems of urban life, and radical poems about the nature of sexual attraction and the meaning of death. Celebrate the Mahoning Valley--celebrate the poetry that smolders like the sulphur sky.
