The Quieting is a limited edition, hand-bound, letter-pressed anthology. Ten contributors each provided a small piece of work that encapsulates what softness and light means to them.
From hunted deer to boneless whales, from the scents of home to the expanding universe, The Quieting is a delicate journey in an otherwise wild world.
Entering its twelfth year, Best New Poets has established itself as a crucial venue for rising poets and a valuable resource for poetry lovers. The only publication of its kind, this annual anthology is made up exclusively of work by writers who have not yet published a full-length book. The poems included in this eclectic sampling represent the best from the many that have been nominated by the country’s top literary magazines and writing programs, as well as some two thousand additional poems submitted through an open online competition. The work of the fifty writers represented here provides the best perspective available on the continuing vitality of poetry as it is being practiced today.
The woman's body is but one of, if not the most controversial, most anatomized out of all political venues. The first installment of the series, RECLAIM: An Anthology of Women's Poetry, is a collection of poems intended to address the need for reclamation of women’s autonomy over their bodies, as a response to their endured oppression as members of a society tainted with capitalist-patriarchal standards.
The anthology puts together great talent across different forms of art and feminism—from 47 brilliant, internationally-acclaimed women poets, art by award-winning visual creator Ann Kiernan, and thoughtful curation by fast-emerging editor and visionary Elizabeth Ruth Deyro.
