Poetry. Edited by Norman Minnick, this anthology includes new work by an intriguing and culturally diverse group of fifteen poets, born after 1960, including Ruth Forman, Ilya Kaminsky, Malena Morling, Kevin Goodan, Jay Leeming, Terrance Hayes, Luljeta Lleshanaku, Sherwin Bitsui, Maria Melendez, Valzhyna Mort, Eugene Gloria, Brian Turner, Joshua Poteat, Maurice Manning, and Chris Abani. "I'm impressed by these voices, voices of anxiety, of pain but also of patience and understanding. From angry prayers to prayers of disbelief, a whole gamut of letters to the invisible is present here. Younger poets are not asleep, they have been placed on alert. By who? By poetry itself, I guess"--Adam Zagajewski.
