New York Quarterly, Number 48

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 48 features a craft interview with Hugh Kenner, an editorial on NYQ poems, and poetry by Charles Bukowski, X. J. Kennedy, Michael Moriarty, Carolyn Slapikas, Antler, Lyn Lifshin, Anna Adams, Leo Connellan, Andrew Glaze, Michael Kimball, Ulf Kirchdorfer, Enid Dame, Iam Rawkinrec, Franz Douskey, Harold Witt, Michael Benedikt, Lynne Savitt, Alison Stone, Bill Shields, Emile Snyder, Linda Lerner, Lewis Turco, Loren Goodman, Chris Brown, Patricia Farewell, William Mundell, Simon Perchik, Sylvester Pollet, Tom Rockwell, Maria Palumbo, Jeff Poniewaz, Lisa Palma, William Packard, Tony Quagliano, Peter Desy, Elisavietta Ritchie, Sherman Alexie, Gina Bergamino, Louis Brodsky, Donna Lane, Terri Brown-Davidson, Victoria McCabe, Robert Miltner, Ethan Gilsdorf, Robert Beveridge, Al Masarik, Patricia Covey, Robert Cooperman, Jennie Orvino, Kathryn Cullen-DuPont, Ann Chernow, Barbara Kriss, Kat Snider, June Collins, Jo-Anne Cappeluti, Joan Seliger Sidney, Stephanie Dickinson, Liubov Sirota, Linda Tieber, Sally Derringer, George Eklund, Thomas Eisele, Linda Iversen, Jeffrey Zable, and David Gelsanliter.
