About the Book
Long Journey showcases work by over 80 of the Pacific Northwest’s leading poets. Of the nearly two hundred poems collected in this remarkable anthology, most are new and previously unpublished – providing readers with a fresh look at the state of contemporary poetry in the region. The poets featured in Long Journey include both well-known names and those deserving greater recognition; both poets long associated with the Northwest as well as recent arrivals.
David Biespiel’s goal in compiling Long Journey was to produce “an early 21st century snapshot of how various and engaging this region’s poetry is,” a record of what poets living in the Northwest are working on right now. The poems display a wide range of styles, forms, voices, and language, and highlight the ongoing achievements of the many diverse poets of the Northwest.
For each featured poet, Biespiel provides a brief, interpretive biographical sketch and a broad list of publications. For poetry enthusiasts, readers interested in Northwest literature, and students of creative writing, Long Journey offers a rich viewof the poetry of our time and place.
