Waters Deep: A Great Lakes Poetry Anthology

by Split Rock Review, Crystal S. Gibbins (Editor), Michelle Menting (Editor)

Waters A Great Lakes Poetry Anthology brings together thirty-five contemporary poets that have been inspired and shaped by the Great Lakes. These poems invite and encourage readers to appreciate and explore more deeply this unique and complex region—the woods, watersheds, grassy plains, hills, bluffs, iron and copper ranges, towns, cities, snow belts and rustbelts. From layers of history and human culture to natural landscapes and built environments, the perspectives and styles of the poets in Waters Deep are as varied and powerful as the lakes themselves. Ashely Adams, Carol Alexander, Catherine Anderson, Cynthia Anderson, James Armstrong, Milton J. Bates, Lois Beardslee, Raymond Byrnes, Eric Chandler, Brian Czyzyk, Lynn Domina, Gwen Hart, Kelsey Hoff, Jen Karetnick, Cindy King, Janna Knittel, Hannah Kroonblawd, Issa M.

[Jim O'Loughlin · Rating 5 out of 5]

This anthology is really thoughtfully put together with about an even split between pieces about the environmental landscape of the Great Lakes region and pieces about the human landscape. I particularly liked the Lynn Domina poems. Looking forward to more anthologies from the hive mind at Split Rock.
