Seven poets who represent some of the best writing that the underground small press has to offer. The poets included here are not from a particular school, at least not one that has been invented as of yet. What connects these writers is obviously not location, or even style of writing, but more a spirit that I feel shines through in the work of all involved. All the poetry contained here is accessible without being mundane, well crafted without being academic...Poetry for people who might not realize they like poetry. The authors collected here are writing some of the best poetry out there...

This book contains three long poems about three road trips made in 1999, 2000, and 2001. They are part travelogue, part historical (describing meetings with other poets such as Todd Moore and A.D. Winans) and part personal musings on the nature of things. The first poem describes a trip to San Francisco to meet a number of small press poets. The second is about a trip across the desert to meet Todd Moore in Albuquerque NM and how it becomes a spiritual quest as I relive a previous trip through the same country. The last poem details a 1300 mile journey to Seattle that was undertaken just...
