Conversations with New York School Poets

The New York School of Poets has, since its inception, been centred on peoples’ meeting, rubbing off on, knowing, collaborating with, being inspired by, and most of all—talking—to other people, many of whom happened to be artists and poets.In this vibrant and insightful collection, twenty-five New York School poets are given an opportunity to explore and define the milieu they wrote from and to shed light on their journeys through New York and through poetry.Collected over a three-year period, these fascinating and compelling conversations tackle, reframe and probe the question of what constitutes the New York School.
