Since its founding in 1969 by William Packard, The New York Quarterly has been devoted to excellence in the publication of a unique and fervent cross-section of contemporary American poetry regardless of school of thought, style, or genre. Our only concern is to focus on the craft that underlies effective poetry writing. The New York Quarterly features works by both known and emerging poets. The NYQ Craft Interviews present the views of some of our most outstanding poets on the general subjects of style, prosody and technique. The issues are rounded out with an essay or two on the subject of contemporary American poetry that is both accessible and meaningful to readers, poets, students, and teachers of poetry alike. NYQ 45 features a craft interview with Betty Comden, an editorial about NYQ screening, an essay by Laurel Blossom, and poetry by Charles Bukowski, Karl Shapiro, Leo Connellan, Franz Douskey, Colette Inez, Ethan Gilsdorf, Lyn Lifshin, Anna Adams, Antler, Judson Crews, James Broughton, Linda Tieber, Harold Witt, Andrew Glaze, Will Inman, Donald Lev, Simon Perchik, Knute Skinner, Jeff Poniewaz, Michael Moriarty, Sanford Fraser, Robert Funge, Dion Birney, Gay Brewer, John Couturier, Michael Atkinson, William Packard, Robin Renee, Samel Maio, Roy Ricci, Alison Stone, Serena Siegfried, Nancy Shiffrin, R.
