Series Editors: Okla Elliott and Hannah Stephenson
The New Poetry from the Midwest anthology seeks to support and spotlight the flourishing crop of Midwestern writers who consistently produce work that is innovative, finely crafted, and strong in voice and the ability to connect. The series seeks to explode the generally accepted notions of what the Midwest is and what Midwestern writing is, while honoring its rich and long-standing histories. What counts as poetry of the Midwest? We feature poets who currently live in, pursued an education in, or were born in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, or Wisconsin, as well as poets writing about any of these states or the region as a whole.
