description: "Kindled Terraces" features poems by 40 contemporary American poets influenced by their experience in modern Greece. Spanning more than five decades, the poems in this anthology are written by highly acclaimed and newer poets who embrace a variety of styles, including lyric and narrative free verse, new formalism, language, and experimental poetry.
