About this title

Review:

In Sam Hamill's introduction to this anthology of inspired writing from Copper Canyon Press, we get a sense of the drive and the passion it has taken to open this space for poetry. Maxine Kumin calls the collection "sagacious and daring." Philip Levine writes that without presses like Copper Canyon, "most of the very best [writing] would never have found its audience." Including work from W.S. Merwin, Gary Snyder, Carolyn Kizer, Lucille Clifton, and Pablo Neruda, among others, The Gift of Tongues is among the finest books of poetry published in the 1990s.
