Trade Review
Praise for earlier editions:

"[A] reminder that contemporary poetry is not only alive and well but continuing to grow." - Publishers Weekly

"This collection stands out among the crowd claiming to represent emergent poets. Much of the editing and preliminary reading was done by emerging poets themselves, which results in an anthology that’s fresh and eclectic, and may actually represent a significant portion of the best new poetry being written by the next generation." - Virginia Quarterly Review
