Title: six years on
Review: Just over six years since this was published, so I hauled it down again. Whether it will be seen as generation-defining a generation from now, who knows, but at this point I would say Marvin & Dumanis made some awfully good calls -- people whose work since this anthology has been very strong. Srikanth Reddy, Joanna Klink, Matthew Zapruder, Arielle Greenberg, Julianne Spahr, Joshua Beckmann, Ben Doyle, Noelle Kocot--not to forget my own chief favorite, G. C. Waldrep. Even one of the dedicatees is freshly acclaimed; Amber Dermont is the author of novel-of-the-season The Starboard Sea. With 85 poets I suppose one is bound to hit a few winners, but I would say their batting average is looking very handsome at the moment.
