Book Description
The Poets of New Jersey celebrates sixty-five extraordinary poets who have lived and worked in New Jersey, from Colonial times to the present. Many of the poets included in this anthology are among America's finest. Stephen Dunn, the Pulitzer Prize poet, writes the Foreword; X. J. Kennedy, the renowned poet, (whose comprehensive text, Literature: An Introduction to Fiction, Poetry and Drama, has taught generations of college students), writes the Introduction. The three editors, all poets themselves, had one simple criterion in compiling the works: they wanted to hear the pure, clear words of the poets who have called this place home. They were interested in the sum of poetic greatness distilled from life in this state?the poetry New Jersey poets have written, whether New Jersey oriented or not. Included: Philip Freneau, Walt Whitman, Stephen Crane, William Carlos Williams, Marianne Moore, Kenneth Burke, Allen Ginsberg, Amiri Baraka, Yusef Komunyakaa, C. K. Williams, Paul Muldoon

Book Description
As the title "Palisades, Parkways & Pinelands" implies, the book at hand has grown from New Jersey roots. More specifically, it is an outgrowth of the Pier Village Poetry Festival, held in view of the Atlantic in Long Branch, New Jersey, on the Fourth of July 2015. For that event, organizer and Long Branch Poet Laureate Emanuel di Pasquale called together some twenty poets from the far-flung New Jersey poetry tribe. A sampling of their work, along with that of others who could only be present in spirit that day, is included in the present volume. As its genesis and development suggest, "Palisades, Parkways & Pinelands" is meant to be a celebration of contemporary New Jersey poetry and a continuation of a long poetic tradition in the Garden State that stretches back to colonial times.

And in both its small towns and big cities, the tough work ethic of its people is second only to their pride in their state. It's no wonder poetry comes naturally to its residents. In New Jersey's Best Emerging Poets, 76 up-and-coming poets have the chance to share their words, vision, and inspiration. Covering a wide array of topics ranging from love and heartbreak, family and friendship, the inherent beauty of nature, and so much more, these young talents will amaze you.

Book Description
Jersey Shore Poets is a poetry writing group that meets once a month at the Eatontown Public Library. It is now in its seventh year. The purpose of the group is to provide a supportive environment for local working poets in the Monmouth County, New Jersey to write, revise and critique their writing as well as to provide information, feedback and support to hone their craft and to seek various opportunities for public reading and publishing. The group also encourages and promotes the writing and appreciation of poetry through various local readings and instructional events. This year, for the first time, JSP has published an anthology, Jersey Shore Poets/First Edition. By the title of this anthology, you might think that this is a collection of writing about the Jersey shore, but it is oh so much more than that! It includes not only of the written work of its twelve members, but the work of over thirty five nationally renowned poets and writers, a group that includes two US Poet Laureates as well as three Pulitzer Prize winners.

Book Description
Poetry. "In the crazy wisdom of no coincedence, Joel Lewis's collection linked poem, LEARNING FROM NEW JERSEY hit the bed table along with Osip Mandelstam's '50 Poems'. Brothers in predilections, both poets have drawn from an ironic, loving regard for their cities. In Lewis's 'research expedition into/ an ordinary night," his poems draw from his long time legend garnering, epic harrowing, factlet-threshing observations of New Jersey territories. In these poems 'the white noise of secret radios' crackles amid the mysterious geography of 'Great Notch' and 'Ong's Hat.' LEARNING FROM NEW JERSEY is as energetic, faceted and textured as the place it evokes." Kimberly Lyons"

Book Description
These poets are speaking to all of us, yes, but first they are speaking to their neighbors, not in a parochial sense, but in the age-old way of the reasil singer: to take thos things heald in common and make them uncoomon, so that they all may become more.
