You might be interested in a new anthology I've
edited, POEMS OF THE AMERICAN WEST, an Everyman
book published by Knopf. It includes poems by
two or three poets well known to Eratosphereans
---Tim Murphy and Rhina Espaillat and Sam Gwynn
are the ones that come to mind. The best thing
about the book, in my opinion, is that it introduces
to thousands of new readers a good number of really
fine poets who are much too little known or not known
at all: Dick Barnes, Rhina and Tim and Sam, Olivia
Simpson Ellis, Ted Kooser, Luis Salinas, Richard
Shelton, Peter Everwine, Henri Coulette &c &c, and
older poets like Kees, Josephine Miles, Brewster
Ghiselin, Thomas Hornsby Ferril, Janet Lewis &c &c.
And along with all the literary poems, some folksongs,
some Indian tribal lyrics, some country-and-western
lyrics, etc. A fun book, small, handsome & cheap.
My one regret is that there was too little room in
this pocket-size volume to include several other very
good poets whose work I know (not to mention all those
whom I haven't read).
