The Possibility of Language: Seven New Poets
Edited by Jeffrey Roessner
 In a poetic scene that is divided among a number of opposing schools
of thought, it is all too easy for poets to identify themselves with
one camp or another. The seven young poets collected in this
anthology (all of whom learned their craft at the University of Notre
Dame) are aware of the conflicts inherent in the current poetic
landscape, and approach their poems with a keen eye and a
critical intelligence. Contributors include Robert Archambeau, Mike
Barrett, Joe Francis Doerr, Beth Ann Fennelly, Jere Odell, Mike
Smith, and Kymberly Taylor.

 To anyone observing the current state of English-language poetry, it
has become increasingly apparent that we are in a state of transition
in which poetry is moving in several directions at once (Language
poetry, MFA-inspired confessional verse, New Formalism). This book is
the first of its kind, gathering young poets who, working outside the
established camps, develop new directions in contemporary poetry.
Contributors include: Frank Rogaczewski, Brooke Bergan, Randolph
Healy, Mike Barrett, Eric Elshtain, Trevor Joyce, Catherine Kasper,
Karen Mac Cormack, and Peter Middleton.
