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 11 features a craft interview with Muriel Rukeyser; an editorial about poetry and violence; list of poetry publishers by Helena Moyniham; "An Exchange of Letters" by David Ignatow and Walter Lowenfels; an index to NYQ poets, issues 1-10 by Marjorie Fennell; photos of Corso, Kinnell, Stokes, Waldman, Sanders, and Kizer; and poetry by Wing Tek Lum, James Lewisohn, Cathleen Medwick, Leo Connellan, Christopher Collins, Anthony Edkins, Thomas Shapcott, Michael Harlow, Helen Adam, Quincy Troupe, RobertOh Faber, Diana Chang, Julio Marzan, Stephen Stepanchev, Herbert Krohn, Allen Katzman, Will Inman, Shoichi Kiyokawa, Paul Roche, Robert Pack, Peter Viereck, Robert Bly, Barbara Gordon Paine, Roland DeMunbrun, Donald Lev, Jean Balderston, Michael Perkins, Henry Malone, John Briggs, Philip Dacey, Don Bailey, Donald Axinn, Hannelore Hahn, Morty Sklar, and Madeline Bass.
