Since its founding in 1969 by William Packard, The New York Quarterly has been devoted to excellence in the publication of a unique and fervent cross-section of contemporary American poetry regardless of school of thought, style, or genre. Our only concern is to focus on the craft that underlies effective poetry writing. The New York Quarterly features works by both known and emerging poets. The NYQ Craft Interviews present the views of some of our most outstanding poets on the general subjects of style, prosody and technique. The issues are rounded out with an essay or two on the subject of contemporary American poetry that is both accessible and meaningful to readers, poets, students, and teachers of poetry alike.
NYQ 32 features a craft interview with Robert Bly; an editorial on translation; a Present State of American Poetry essay, "Meter is Time in Leotards," by Peter Viereck; and poetry by Rudolf Wittenberg, Richard Eberhart, Antonio de Nicolas, Charles Bukowski, James Lewisohn, John Tagliabue, Leo Connellan, Antler, Macdonald Carey, Anna Adams, Stephen Stepanchev, Harold Witt, Andrew Glaze, Donald Lev, William Packard, Eliot Katz, Herman Gold, Sandra Storey, Kenneth Brewer, Jared Smith, Tony Gloeggler, Laurel Blossom, Ray A. Young Bear, Mary Jane Luerssen, Elizabeth Ann Socolow, Lydia Heineman, Phillip Mahony, James Perkins, Marina Roscher, Eileen Hennessy, Peter Blaxill, Jack Ridl, Joseph Stanton, Daniel Sklar, Robert Funge, Vanessa Haley, Andrew Harvey, William Thompson, Candy Graybill, Malcolm Glass, June Collins, William Zander, Dion Pincus, Laurel Speer, Malra Treece, Walter McDonald, Carolyn Anderson, and Bob Rixon.
