100 Select Poems Plus One

by Martina Reisz Newberry

Author's Note: I have edited the selected poems in this book by dismantling previous collections. They are presented in sequence by the titles in which they first appeared and, in that way, the book is its own story. My unconscious models for the construction of these poems have been "Selected Poems of Norman Dubie" and A.R. Ammons' "Collected Poems" both of which have provided a definitive influence on my life and work. I mention them because their work is so different and, at the same time, similar to mine. This is not to say that they are my only influences. There are so many other brilliant "ghosts," talented minds I appeal to when trying to put my particular way of experiencing the world to paper.
