Summary
"This anthology, an eclectic and entertaining mix of poetry and prose, showcases some of the extraordinary writers who have helped shape a literary quarter-century. Their work provides clear evidence of the critical role Graywolf and other independent presses play in the otherwise increasingly homogenous publishing universe - a realization made all the more remarkable when contrasted against the simple charm of Graywolf's earliest days as a letterpress publisher, as described in an introductory historical essay by founder Scott Walker."--Jacket.
