About the Book
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 58 features a craft interview with Anna Adams, an editorial on the NYQ re-issue and 5-year hiatus, an essay by Raymond Hammond, and a tribute to Anna Adams by Douglas Treem. NYQ 58 is the last issue of the magazine produced by William Packard. NYQ 58 has poetry by Jacquelyn Gavron, Kevin Keck, Eleanor Kedney, Oliver Rice, Graham Lewis, Rosemary Nordstrom, Peter V. Arcese, Francis Poole, Susanne R. Bowers, Carol Cullar, Ted Jonathan, Matt Buys, Christine Hall, Irene Willis, A.
