The new book "The Poetry Anthology, 1912-2002," presenting the editor's choice of the best verse published in "Poetry" over a ninety year span, includes wonderful poems by A.E. Stalling and Rhina Espaillat. (The may be other 'spherians in there, too, but I've only browsed it so far.)
Congratulations! Richard |
Wow, the good news just never stops around here! Rhina and Alicia, it's always a big smile when you two are recognized for all you deserve.
Richard, will the book be available in bookstores? Do you know? Thanks for the news. Terese |
Yes, it will certainly be available in book stores, and it will probably be very well distributed. Official publication date was late October, so it's probably everywhere by now. I haven't checked Amazon. Here are the particulars:
"The POETRY Anthology, 1912-2002," edited by Joseph Parisi and Stephen Young, published by Ivan R. Dee, $29.95. |
Now that's a big deal! Congrats to two of our sonnet bake-off winners. Just read a long, lyrical essay by Lariat Mason which considers at some length, and very appreciatively, Bob Mezey's new Poems of the American West. Erato rules!

I was fortunate enough to have a poem selected for this anthology as well, but I haven't received my copy yet and didn't know who else was in it. Congratulations, Rhina and Alicia!

Catherine:
My sincere apologies for leaving you out. It's a big book, and I have yet to explore it fully. My congratulations are no less sincere for being late! Richard |
Catherine, that's excellent news. I'll be looking for the book and your name too—congratulations! You must be glowing!
Terese |
Thank you, Richard. And please, no apology is necessary! I know the book is over 500 pages long. I'm grateful to you for posting about it, and very pleased that Rhina and Alicia, whose poems I admire so much, are featured.
Terese, thank you too. Yes, I was very surprised and excited to get the news. I'll be hounding the postman until my copy comes. |
Thanks for the congratulations, 'Sphereans! And how lovely to be in such good company as yours, Alicia and Catherine: I'm waiting for the mailman too, to see who else is in there with us.
