The New York Quarterly, Number 52

Publisher Marketing: 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 52 features a craft interview with Antler, an editorial on women, an essay by Patricia Covey, and poetry by Antler, Karl Shapiro, Charles Bukowski, Michael Moriarty, Lyn Lifshin, Colette Inez, Stephen Stepanchev, James Laughlin, Donald Lev, Arthur Winfield Knight, Ethan Gilsdorf, Andrew Glaze, Patricia Farewell, Stephanie Dickinson, Patricia Covey, Astrid Andersen, Virginia Sharp, Alison Stone, Graham Lewis, James Lineberger, Maria Palumbo, Susan Pinkwater, William Packard, Joy Sawyer, Tom Rockwell, Carolyn Slapikas, J.
