Wright, Ted Kooser, Brenda Shaughnessy, Gregory Orr, Chris Abani, Matthew Zapruder, Natalie Diaz, Kwame Dawes, Roger Reeves—on and on, a fount of poetic genius, all elegantly laid out in a large-format paperback book.""—Ron Charles, Washington Post ""Since 1973, the publisher Copper Canyon has provided a haven for poets and readers.
