The Powow River Anthology is a collection of poetry by 24 award-winning poets who are members of the prestigious Powow River Poets of Newburyport, Massachusetts. Perhaps the collection is best described by noted poet Timothy Steele when he says, “Like an oasis in the desert, this anthology offers fertile refuge in the largely arid landscape of contemporary verse. Here readers can escape the bewildering, coercive heat of Poetry with a capital “P” and find many refreshing and memorable poems. Hats off to the remarkable Powow poets: long may they write and thrive.”
