Sparked by Archibald MacLeish's assertion that "there always was a relationship between poet and place," Edward Field published, in 1979, the first edition of A Geography of Poets. Now Field and his co-editors, Gerald Locklin and Charles Stetler, offer an updated look at the contemporary poetry scene in A New Geography of Poets.
Including works from nearly two hundred familiar and emerging authors like William Stafford, Howard Nemerov, Molly Peacock, Amiri Baraka, Maxine Kumin, Gerald Barrax, and Gary Soto, A New Geography of Poets, while still dedicated to examining the tremendous poetic outpouring from regions outside the circles of "Northeast academic criticism," also takes the theme of "geography" literally and seeks as its examples poetry that in some way reflects a region in all its particulars. Rather than seeking a definition of what a southern or Californian or New York poet is, the editors, acknowledging that poets move around "as much as, if not more than, everyone else in the country," have conscientiously selected those poems that bear witness to the impact of one geographical region on the imagination and art of the poet. The result is a sweeping survey of the best and brightest poets America has to offer today.
