Emphasizing young and mid-career poets, with the usual smattering of acknowledged veterans, this impressive collection of almost 500 pages contains both new and previously published work of what can honestly be termed "the best and the brightest" of a new generation of poets. In addition to a minimum of three poems by each writer, the anthology also includes brief biographical sketches as well as bibliographical information and sources.

Innovative, unified by the vision of the editors, and unashamedly provocative, this is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the current and future trends of American verse.
