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 29 features a craft interview with Michael Moriarty, an editorial about NYQ poems, an essay by Andrew Glaze, and poetry by William Stafford, Robert Lax, John Tagliabue, Antler, David Cope, Andrew Glaze, Jayanta Mahapatra, Patricia Farewell, Stephen Stepanchev, Helen Adam, Lola Haskins, Charles Bukowski, Bill Durham, Donald Lev, Eliot Katz, Joan Seliger Sidney, Elisavietta Ritchie, Edmund Pennant, Hugh Fox, James Lewisohn, Arthur Winfield Knight, Peter Morris, Jayne Lyn Stahl, Gerald J.
