The New York Quarterly Number 12

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 12 features a craft interview with Richard Wilbur; an editorial about poetic devices; an essay Reference Books by William Packard; an essay The Woman Poet by Carol Jennings; an essay Poetry Magazines by Elizabeth Yazzetti; photos of Rosenthal Jong Denby Gunn Troupe and Wagner; and poetry by Muriel Rukeyser Kenneth Rexroth Charles Bukowski William Mundell Helen Adam Daisy Aldan Andrew Glaze Louis Ginsberg Manuchehr Sassoonian Miroslav Holub David Martinson Pablo Neruda Mark Kundig Lynn Strongin D.
