The New York Quarterly, Number 37

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 37 features a craft interview with Lyn Lifshin, an editorial on the teaching of poetry, and poetry by Karl Shapiro, Lyn Lifshin, James Laughlin, Desmond Egan, Charles Bukowski, Macdonald Carey, Michael Moriarty, William Mundell, Harold Witt, Stephen Stepanchev, John Siman, Charles Mann, Norman Stock, Larry Rubin, Lynda La Rocca, Christopher Ide, Carrie Daklin, Meo Ken, Harry Olive, Elisavietta Ritchie, Robert Richards, Christy Sanford, Nancy Shiffrin, Norma Sheard, Charlotte Savidge, Yoon Sik Kim, Christina Zawadiwsky, Trish Rucker, Tony Park, Daryl Rogers, Jack Ridl, Dan Powers, Robert Parham, Eric Nelson, William Packard, Peter Morris, Miles David Moore, Arthur Winfield Knight, Patricia Farewell, Tony Gloeggler, Donald Lev, Paul Genga, Evvy Garrett, and Antonio T. de Nicolas.
