The New York Quarterly, Number 27 - Paperback

by William Packard (Editor)

Since its founding in 1969 by William Packard, The New York Quarterly has been devoted to excellence in the publication of a unique and fervent cross-section of contemporary American poetry regardless of school of thought, style, or genre. Our only concern is to focus on the craft that underlies effective poetry writing. The New York Quarterly features works by both known and emerging poets. The NYQ Craft Interviews present the views of some of our most outstanding poets on the general subjects of style, prosody and technique. The issues are rounded out with an essay or two on the subject of contemporary American poetry that is both accessible and meaningful to readers, poets, students, and teachers of poetry alike. NYQ 27 features a craft interview with Charles Bukowski, an editorial on contemporary poetry (III), an essay by Karl Shapiro, and poetry by James Dickey, W. D. Snodgrass, Imamu Amiri Baraka, Charles Bukowski, Richard Eberhart, Ruth Herschberger, Leo Connellan, Lola Haskins, Stephen Stepanchev, Al Santoli, Wing Tek Lum, Daniel Berrigan, Constance Carrier, Bryanne Nanfito, Andrew Glaze, William Stafford, Robert Lax, May Sarton, Andy Clausen, David Cope, Chris Brown, Steve Kowit, William Durham, Dennis Bernstein, Joan Shapiro, Pat Smuklo, William Packard, Carol Purdy, Patricia O'Callaghan, Stephen Lupack, Donald Lev, James McGlynn, Andrew Harvey, and Ron Adams.
