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 66 features craft interviews with Bruce Weigl and Steve Cannon; an essay on Hip-Hop by Michael Cirelli; and poetry by Bruce Weigl, Timothy Liu, Christian Barter, Shya Scanlon, Hosho McCreesh, Stephen Stepanchev, Dorianne Laux, Andrew Kaufman, Douglas Treem, Scott Bailey, Donald Lev, Larry Rogers, Matthew Zapruder, Michael Lee Phillips, Mara Robbins, Marge Piercy, Justin Hyde, Luke Johnson, Stephen Herz, Lyn Lifshin, Sheila Raeschild, Elizabeth Swados, John Kay, Jenna Le, Corrine De Winter, John Hodgen, Amanda J.

My Misspent Youth is an incisive collection that marked the start of a new millennium and became a cult classic, from the editor of Selfish, Shallow, and Self-Absorbed and the author of The Unspeakable An essayist in the tradition of Joan Didion, Meghan Daum is one of the most celebrated nonfiction writers of her generation, widely recognized for her fresh, provocative approach with which she unearths the hidden fault lines in the American landscape. From her well remembered New Yorker essays about the financial demands of big-city ambition and the ethereal, strangely old-fashioned allure of cyber-relationships to her dazzlingly hilarious riff in Harper's about musical passions that give way to middle-brow paraphernalia, Daum delves into the center of things while closely examining the detritus that spills out along the way. With precision and well-balanced irony, Daum implicates herself as readily as she does the targets that fascinate and horrify her.
