Best American Poetry

The following poems appeared in our pages between 1989 and 1993. They were selected for inclusion in the five Best American Poetry anthologies for 1990 - 1994, a series juried by well known American poets, under the directorship of David Lehmann, and published by Macmillan/Collier.

We are honored to have been among the literary journals represented in this illustrious series and would like to thank David Lehmann for his continued support, and to congratulate the poets.
