Well, I guess I need to start by confessing this contains a few poems that I wrote, but I'm not here to talk about that. This is such a great cross-section of contemporary literature, such a great job of bringing forth new writers to the public's eye that I recommend it whole-heartedly. (If you happen to enjoy my works, all the better.)
