New Poets Series ii

This book, like the volume that initiated the series, is appearing during a terrible time in our country. Let it be remarked, therefore, that we who can see the reality, or can imagine something better, will not close up shop. In a time of hate radio and the cruelest forms of capitalism, during a period of unsurpassed government corruption and incompetence, poetry, like every art, remains a survival skill.

—Marvin Bell

What / I did was listen hard as the world fell. I sang, / “This must be music,” though by now my voice was / bricks exploding, pipes bursting, strangers crying out.

—Tim Krcmarik, “Things That Go On Around Us”

The woman who cuts my hair has angels / she asks for advice. / All I ask for is silence,  / and to sleep like a dog.

—Patricia Staton, “Bowl of Pears and a Bicycle”


Look in the afternoon for the mothers who walk in Argentina / When the old wind of agony blows. / We should think of them when shopping malls are on our minds, / When our grass is cut low, and shining and smiling.

—Victor Camillo, “The Disappeared”
