Description
Remarkable in its scope and quality, Contemporary Michigan Poetry offers an arresting look at Michigan life and a special glimpse at the preoccupations that possess residents on the Third Coast. Among the fifty-three contributors are Charles Baxter, Alice Fulton, Jim Harrison, Janet Kaufmann, Josie Kearns, Thomas Lynch, John R. Reed, and Stephen Tudor. Styles range from understated to extravagant, from closely observed to freely imagined. Poems are as varied as the Michigan landscape.

Reviews
"There is a nice balance between the new and the old. A lot of fresh, surprising new voices and such strong new work from many of Michigan's veteran poets. Michigan is clearly the home to some of the best poets in the country."
— Jim Daniels, professor of engish Carnegie-Mellon University and author of In Line for the Exterminator
