The Great American Road Show

The Great American Road Show

Logan House is pleased to announce the publication of The Great American Road Show, an anthology of the work of nineteen gifted young poets. Diverse in sensitivity and sensibility, the voices and visions of these poems make it clear that poetry is alive and well among the first generation to come of age at the millennium.
No one poet travels the entirety of the road that is American poetry. We stop for gas or pie or a flat tire or because we canâ€™t keep our eyes open any longer. We pause to fork up the crumbs from our plate, or weâ€™re distracted in the midst of looking for all the pieces of the jack. While we sleep on some hard motel bed, other travelers pass us in the night.
This is a community unto itself, but the members survive in a larger culture. We get off the road for a while or forever. A poem begins and that poem ends. What goes on forever is the road. What never ends â€“ canâ€™t end as long as one voice speaks out its vision â€“ is poetry.
