Washington's Best Emerging Poets: An Anthology

Named after our first president, Washington is the birthplace of everything from Starbucks to grunge music to Microsoft. But Washington is just as vital outside of its big cities. Its countless fields produce the most apples and pears in America. And if you look up from those fields, you’ll witness the glory of Mount Rainier towering over you. In this wondrous state, poetry comes naturally. In Washington's Best Emerging Poets, 75 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. Containing one poem per poet, this anthology is a compelling introduction to the great wordsmiths of tomorrow.
