The New York Quarterly, Number 63

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 63 features two craft interviews, one with F. D. Reeve and another with Gene Fowler; an editorial about meeting William Packard; an essay by David Koehn, "A Personal Essay: Book Reviews with Self-Portrait, The Squaw Valley Community of Writers 2004;" and poetry by Gene Fowler, F. D. Reeve, W. D. Snodgrass, Enid Dame, Donald Lev, Antler, Douglas Treem, Andrew Glaze, Mark Weber, Andrea M. Lockett, Timothy Liu, Michael Casey, Tony Gloeggler, Thom Ward, Rynn Williams, Stephen Stepanchev, Mark Bibbins, Dennis J.
