an anthology -
This collection of poetry has over five hundred authors
and contains over nine hundred poems received and edited
during the first half of 1980. Every state in the United
States is represented with accepted poetry. The authors are
located in the following geographical sections "of the book
respective to where they live; Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, South
& Gulf, Midwest, Northwest, and Southwest.
This is our first edition of high school student
poetry. It has been our job to choose the poems, inevitably
some instead of others, and to design and publish the book.
Our connection has been ~hrough the many high schools that
the students attend, however, we are pleased to say that the
poetry is truly of their own making.
To our knowledge this book is exceptional in its scope
and breadth to reach so far and wide for so many young writers
to gather together, to be seen as one presence, and to
complete for them something indeed necessary and valuable.
We realize that this is-not our book at all, but rather
belongs to these five hundred authors who have agreed to
have published some of the substance of their living - at
times funny, naive, pretentious, hopeful, and occasionally
defeated.
Many, many in this collection are trying to make
"poetry." They have all the parts but like the "tin man" in
"OZ" they haven't found the heart of it yet. They are
sometimes too imitating or patterned, but risking to tell us
something - and that is the commitment. Most of these you
will recognize.
Some, however, have looked way inside with no obvious
effort and strung words together like laundry out to dry,
fresh, exposed, and ready to be seen
